BAS > Data > Explore polar data > Our publications > Latitudinal trends in shell production cost from the tropics to the poles Latitudinal trends in shell production cost from the tropics to the poles The proportion of body mass devoted to skeleton in marine invertebrates decreases along latitudinal gradients from large proportions in the tropics to small proportions in polar regions. A historical hypothesis—that latitudinal differences in shell production costs explain these trends—remains untested. Using field-collected specimens spanning a 79°N to 68°S latitudinal gradient (16,300 km), we conducted a taxonomically controlled evaluation of energetic costs of shell production as a proportion of the total energy budget in mollusks. Shell production cost was fairly low across latitudes at <10% of the energy budget and predominately <5% in gastropods and <4% in bivalves. Throughout life, shell cost tended to be lower in tropical species and increased slightly toward the poles. However, shell cost also varied with life stage, with the greatest costs found in young tropical gastropods. Low shell production costs on the energy budget suggest that shell cost may play only a small role in influencing proportional skeleton size gradients across latitudes relative to other ecological factors, such as predation in present-day oceans. However, any increase in the cost of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) deposition, including from ocean acidification, may lead to a projected ~50 to 70% increase in the proportion of the total energy budget required for shell production for a doubling of the CaCO3 deposition cost. Changes in energy budget allocation to shell cost would likely alter ecological trade-offs between calcification and other drivers, such as predation, in marine ecosystems.

NewsWorld Vatican blames many for rise of ex-cardinal accused of sexual abuse Jonathan Newton/AP FILE - In this Sept. 23, 2015 file photo, Pope Francis reaches out to hug Cardinal Archbishop emeritus Theodore McCarrick after the Midday Prayer of the Divine with more than 300 U.S. Bishops at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington. The retired archbishop of Washington, D.C. has been removed from public ministry over allegations he sexually abused a teenager while a priest in New York more than 40 years ago. (Jonathan Newton / The Washington Post via AP, File) ROME — A Vatican investigation into ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has found that bishops, cardinals and popes downplayed or dismissed reports that he slept with seminarians. But the 400-plus-page report determined that Pope Francis merely continued his predecessors' naive handling of the predator until a former altar boy alleged abuse. The Vatican took the extraordinary step Tuesday of publishing its two-year investigation into the American prelate's rise and fall to restore credibility to the U.S. and Vatican hierarchies, which have been shattered by the McCarrick scandal. Francis defrocked McCarrick, 90, last year after a Vatican investigation confirmed decades of allegations that the successful church fundraiser had sexually molested adults as well as children.

Q: Python, Pandas: shrinking a dataframe inside my application i have a dataframe that looks similiar to this: Example: id | address | code_a | code_b | code_c | more columns 1 | parkdrive 1 | 012ah8 | 012ah8a | 1345wqdwqe | .... 2 | parkdrive 1 | 012ah8 | 012ah8a | dwqd4646 | .... 3 | parkdrive 2 | 852fhz | 852fhza | fewf6465 | .... 4 | parkdrive 3 | 456se1 | 456se1a | 856fewf13 | .... 5 | parkdrive 3 | 456se1 | 456se1a | gth8596s | .... 6 | parkdrive 3 | 456se1 | 456se1a | a48qsgg | .... 7 | parkdrive 4 | tg8596 | tg8596a | 134568a | .... As you may see, every address can contain multiple entrys inside my dataframe, the code_a and code_b are following a certain pattern and only code_c is unqiue. What I'm trying to obtain is a dataframe where the column code_c is ignored, dropped or whatever and the whole dataframe is reduced to only one entry for each address...something like this: id | address | code_a | code_b | more columns 1 | parkdrive 1 | 012ah8 | 012ah8a | ... 3 | parkdrive 2 | 852fhz | 852fhza | ... 4 | parkdrive 3 | 456se1 | 456se1a | ... 7 | parkdrive 4 | tg8596 | tg8596a | ... I tried the groupby-function, but this doesn't seemed to work - or is this even the right function? Thanks for your help and good day to all of you! A: I think what you are looking for is # in this way you are looking for all the duplicates rows in all columns except for 'code_c' df.drop_duplicates(subset=df.columns.difference(['code_c'])) # in this way you are looking for all the duplicates rows ONLY based on column 'address' df.drop_duplicates(subset='address') A: You can drop_duplicates to do this df.drop_duplicates(subset=['address'], inplace=True) This will keep only a single entry per address A: I notice in your example data, if you drop columnC then all the entries with address "parkdrive 1" for example, are just duplicates. you should drop the column c: df.drop('code_c',axis=1,inplace=True) Then you can drop the duplicates: df_clean = df.drop_duplicates()

When I go to a grocery store, after I've found the things I came for, I always scout around for interesting new ingredients. When a new ingredient is something I can use in bread, I silently "squeee" a little bit before I toss my prize into my cart. My latest find was at Whole Foods and the ingredient was at the same time exotic and familiar. Sweet potato flour. Squeeeee! I've used white potatoes in bread, and I've used instant mashed potato flakes. And I've used winter squash puree. For no good reason, I've never used mashed sweet potatoes in bread, but this was even better. This is flour, so it's shelf stable. And since it's dry there's no need to make late adjustments for the unknown amount of liquid in mashed potatoes. White potatoes make bread fluffy but they add no flavor. When I added squash to bread dough, it made the bread a very pale orange, and the flavor was very subtle. But like dried herbs that are stronger than fresh ones, the dried sweet potatoes in the flour added a very distinctive flavor. The color wasn't a bright orange like my double-tomato flatbreads. Instead, it was an earthy orange-tinted light brown. I let this dough rise twice, but you could skip that second rise and proceed directly to forming and baking. I used active dry yeast here, but instant would be fine as well. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine water, yeast, and sugar, and set aside until it becomes frothy, about 10 minutes. Add sweet potato flour and bread flour and knead until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl and becomes smooth and elastic. It will still be a little bit sticky. Add the salt and butter and continue kneading until the the butter is completely incorporated. It may still be a little sticky, but don't worry about that. The elasticity is the important thing to look for. Form the dough into a rough ball, drizzle with a bit of olive oil to coat, and put it back into the bowl (or a clean one if you prefer). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled, about an hour. When the dough has doubled, punch it down, form it into a ball again, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Set it aside to rise until doubled again, about 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and sprinkle a baking sheet with some cornmeal. When dough has doubled, lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough briefly, then form it into your preferred shape. Put it on your prepared baking sheet (or you could use a loaf pan, if you prefer), cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Slash the dough as desired. I used the same scissors-snip method that I used for this bread, but in a different pattern. Slash yours any way you like. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes until browned. Cool completely on a rack before cutting. This appeared on Serious Eats and has been submitted to YeastSpotting. And... if you want to see a really cute idea using this technique, check out these adorable hedgehog buns that hmw0029 made. Boozy baking here! No, I'm not talking about drinking while baking – I'm talking about adding booze to your baked goods. And "The Boozy Baker" by Lucy Baker is the perfect guide, with recipes that use everything from beer to vodka. What I really liked was that most of the recipes offered alternatives for the liquor used in the recipes, so there's a good chance you'll be able to use something you like, or you can use up some of what you have on hand. This chocolate tart was particularly tasty. It called for coffee liqueur like Kahlua, but I used a Colorado-made coffee liqueur instead. The suggested alternate was a cream liqueur like Bailey's. The filling is somewhere between custard and creamy fudge – very rich, so a little goes a long way. Pulse the cookies in your food processor until you have fine crumbs. Add the butter and salt and continue pulsing until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the cookie crumb mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a nine-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Put the tart pan on a cookie sheet and set aside. Put the chocolate into a bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepot until it just begins to bubble. You don't want it to come all the way to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the sugar and stir to combine. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and liqueur together until thoroughly combined, then gradually add the egg mixture to the chocolate, whisking until it is completely combined, and smooth. Pour this filling into the prepared tart pan. Bake the tart on the sheet pan at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, until the edges are puffed and the center is barely set. When the tart is done, move it to a wire rack to cool completely, then store in the refrigerator. This is best served at room temperature, but cuts easier when chilled. This tart is nice garnished with a bit of whipped cream, but it's also fine just as it is. Well, not really. Because there ought to be more tomatoes coming. And really, I thought this was a great deal. At a garage sale, I bought an early version of the Aero Garden. It had never been used, and included the seeds. All for $10. I thought the seeds might be too old to sprout, but there were no problems at all. I really wanted this to grow herbs in the winter. This time of year, I don't really need to be growing tomatoes indoors, but I wanted to see how well it would work, so I set it up and let it go. The plants grew well, and then I got flowers. And look! A teeny little tomato. Later, I'll buy an herb kit or maybe one of the plant-it-yourself kits and I can plant my own selection of herbs. If the tomatoes do this well, I'm sure I'll have plenty of fresh herbs this summer. Well worth the $10, I think. A while back, I had a discount at Williams Sonoma and at the same time their gelato mixes were on sale...and coincidentally, I had just read comments from people who were raving about how good these mixes were, and that they were just like gelato served in Italy. Add all that together, and I had to give them a try. I had no idea what flavor Stracciatella was supposed to be, but the ingredients listed chocolate, so I knew it couldn't be too bad. According to Wikipedia, the name comes from a word that means "torn apart" and it refers to the shards of chocolate in the white gelato. The interesting thing about this mix was how fast it is to make. With most of the ice creams I make, you have to wait for a custard base to cool, or at least you have to chill the combined ingredients - and I usually chill them over night. With these mixes from Williams Sonoma, you mix milk with the base, dump it in the ice cream maker, and give it a whirl. The only waiting time is after it's done and you put it in the freezer. The instructions suggest three hours, but it's not going to be ruined if you dive in sooner. The flavor was good and the texture was good, but I wasn't head over heels about it. I'm used to a creamier - okay fattier - ice cream. But that certainly could be remedied by using half-and-half instead of milk. Gelato is supposed to have less fat than American ice cream, and less air is whipped into gelato than what's in commerical American ice creams, but I have no idea how that relates to the ice cream I make at home. It doesn't seem like I'm whipping vast amounts of air in. I've never had real Italian gelato, so I can't say for sure authentic this mix is, but people who've been to Italy claimed that this mix is exactly what gelato is like in Italy. I'll take their word for it. Maybe some day I'll have a chance to try it in its native environment. Meanwhile, this is a quick, easy way to have a frozen dessert. On Saturday, my friends from Hot Heads (the guys who make the very addicting Pepperspread) will be at Cayenne Kitchen in Longmont, talking to people about their product. Since I'm their pet pepperhead, I'll be there with them, handing out samples of some of the spicy creations I've made that use their product. First, there will be the ever-popular Cherry Bombs, which proved to be so popular when I first blogged about them that David Lebovitz put a link to my blog on his FaceBook page, and according to Site Meter, I got a visit from the Executive Office of the President of the United States. I'd like to think that the White House Chef was looking for recipes, but my husband pointed out that it's more likely that the word "bomb" prompted a visit from a government security bot. This time, I'm using cream cheese instead of goat cheese in the Cherry Bombs, but the basic recipe remains the same. I'm thinking about trying a slightly different technique for pitting and stuffing the cherries, as well. We'll see if it's an improvement or not. The second sample will be my famous Fire Crackers. These little guys surprised me when I found an optical illusion in one of the photos I took. I revised the Fire Crackers recipe for Saturday's demo, tripling the amount it makes and adding more Pepperspread for a spicier cracker. I also decided to use my stand mixer for kneading. If you like spicy food, give the new version a try. They've got a good kick when you eat them plain, but you can tone them down depending on what you top them with. Last, I decided that I wanted to play with some grapes. Sweet and spicy is a good combination. For the trial version, I used the same turkey injector that I used for my Atomic Tomatoes, but this time I injected nothing but Pepperspread into some green grapes. You can't inject a whole lot of Pepperspread into a little grape, but that stuff packs a lot of heat, so a little is all you need. To fix the problem I had with seeds getting stuck in the injector, I strained the Pepperspread through a medium sieve and the problem was solved. Easy peasy. For an extra contrast, I tested some of the injected grapes frozen. The texture of the frozen grape is like a Popsicle, and the contrast of cold and spicy is interesting. The downside is that the grape flavor is muted when they're frozen. So if you're thinking about making them, try them both ways and see what you think. Fire Crackers - they look innocent, but they're spicy. Mix the water, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer, and set aside until the mixture becomes foamy. Add the Pepperspread, flour, and salt, and knead with the dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add the olive oil and continue kneading until all the oil is incorporated. Form the dough into a ball, drizzle with a little olive oil, and return it to the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside until it has doubled, about an hour. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Flour your work surface, and knead the dough briefly. (You might consider wearing gloves for this. Your choice.) Divide the dough into three pieces. This rolling pin makes divots in dough. Roll the first piece to approximately 12 x 15 inches. It should be about the thickness of a dime. It's easiest to move the dough to the parchment at this point. You can trim the ends so the dough is square, or leave it uneven - it's up to you. Use a fork, a dough docker, or whatever pointy object you like to poke holes all over the dough so it won't puff too much during baking. I have a rolling pin that I use for this, but a fork is just fine. Using a pizza cutter, pastry cutter, knife, or whatever else you like, score the dough into the size and shape of crackers that you like. There is no need to separate the pieces; they will snap apart crisply when the crackers are baked. There's no need to let these rise, they go into the oven right after they're formed. Roll out the second and third pieces of dough in the same way. Bake at 325 degrees until the crackers are browned and completely dry and crisp. I find that the first ones will crisp up after about 25 minutes, and after that I check them about every 5 minutes, removing them as they're done. Let them cool completely before you store them. If they're at all warm when you seal them up in a bag or container, they'll get soft and weird. Once they're completely dry, they store well for a long time. If they last. This guacamole was inspired by one in Rick Bayless's cookbook Fiesta at Rick's. I had planned to make his recipe as-is, and had the avocados waiting. I also had the required sun-dried tomatoes. And I always have onions, usually in multiple colors. When I went to the store for other things I needed for dinner, I completely forgot about the guacamole that was going to accompany the fajitas and chips. As I re-read the recipe, I realized that cilantro wasn't the only thing I forgot, and at that point I decided to abandon the recipe entirely and just use what I had on hand to make an inspired recipe instead. Maybe I'm crazy, but I generally don't like tomatoes in guacamole. A little is fine, but mostly I leave them out. Maybe it's because there is usually a tomato salsa nearby when guacamole is on the table. But Bayless's recipe sounded interesting to me because he used sun-dried tomatoes, and he specifically recommended the type that is sold by the dried fruits rather than the oil-drenched ones in jars. When I was a kid, I'd eat tomatoes plain, like the fruit that is is. Sometimes I'd add a little salt. My dad would usually grow tomatoes, be we went through so many, we'd buy them in large boxes from a market. None of them got canned, we just ate them. When my dad's tomatoes were ready for picking, there would be arguments about when they were ready. My dad wanted them completely ripe, and my mother liked them when they were still a little bit green, because she liked the tartness. And then she'd want some green ones to fry, but my dad would refuse to pick them green until the very end of the season. Me, I liked them any way I could get them. I still eat them fully ripe, part ripe, and I fry the green ones. I missed the farmer's market over the weekend, so I stopped at a farmstand for my tomatoes. Compared to the photos from the other day, these look pink. For one thing, the last tomatoes were a very dark heirloom variety, so they were a deep, deep red inside. And second, these were just a little bit short of being fully ripe. But that's fine. I'm an equal-opportunity tomato eater. The salad was simple: tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, Real Salt (It's a brand name. It's pink and has flecks of darker colors. Allegedly has more minerals or something.), basil-infused olive oil, pepper, and a teeny sprinkling of brown sugar. Nothing was mixed, it was just sprinkled on. Ripped in half, you can see the filling and the layers. These rolls have a layered dough, sort of like croissants, but they're as easy as pie crust. Or, if you think pie crust is difficult, disregard that last sentence. They're pretty easy, considering the result. This dough is actually pretty hard to mess up. If you process the butter too much or let it get too soft during the rolling, it will incorporate more into the dough and you'll end up with a sweet, buttery soft dough with lovely layers. It won't be as flaky as one where the butter was kept chilled and stayed separate from the dough, but neither result is bad. Almond filling can be found at most supermarkets. It's been sold since I was a kid. It's the flavor that I remember from bakery almond confections way back when. I've tried some boutique brands of almond spreads, but they just aren't the same as the old-fashioned grocery store brand. If you don't like almonds, you can substitute your flavor of choice. These would be nice with a simple sprinkle of cinnamon or a nice dollop of thick jam in the center. And if you really like almonds, you could sprinkle some on top, after the eggwash. While these were very tempting right after they came out of the oven, I actually liked them better after they cooled completely. While they were warm, the filling seemed a bit too sweet for me. After it cooled, it was just right. But you be the judge. Just let them cool a little before you tear into them. That filling can be very hot. You can see a bit of filling peeking out the center. In a medium bowl, mix water, yeast, sugar and sour cream. Whisk to dissolve the sugar and set aside. Put the flour and salt in the bowl of your food processor. Cut the butter into about a dozen chunky pieces, and drop the into the bowl of the food processor. Pulse the food processor a few times, as you would for a pie dough. You're looking for pieces about the size of a chickpea. Some larger chunks are fine, and it's also fine if some are smaller. It's not an exact process. Transfer the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the mixture gently, just to moisten all the flour, trying not to break or mash the butter chunks any more than necessary. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The next day, generously flour your work surface and turn the dough out. You'll probably need to use more flour as you roll out the dough, so keep it handy. Pat the dough into a rough rectangle, then roll it out to about 12 x 16 inches. You don't have to be exact. Rough dimensions are fine. The butter will be chunky and clumpy in the dough. That's fine. You can see the clumps of butter in the dough. Fold the dough in thirds, as you'd fold a letter. Roll the dough again to the roughly the same size, and fold in thirds again. Work quickly, so the the butter doesn't soften too much or begin to melt. Do the roll-and-fold twice more, then fold the dough in half, wrap it in plastic wrap, and toss it into the refrigerator. It should rest there for at least an hour, but you can leave it until the next day. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take the dough out of the refrigerator, cut it into two pieces, and return half to the refrigerator while you work on the other half. Flatten the piece of dough a bit, then cut it into eight roughly equal pieces. Here's a cut piece. You can see the layers in the dough. Roll the first piece to about 3 x 6 inches. Take about a tablespoon of the almond filling and spread it on the lower part of the dough then spread it about halfway up, leaving most of it at the end. It doesn't matter if it's all a little rough and uneven. Roll the dough up and place it, seam-side down, on the prepared sheet pan. Leave plenty of room between the rolls. When all eight rolls are finished, cover the pan with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes. You can continue rolling the next eight or save the dough for the next day. Here they are, feeling a bit puffy. After 30 minutes, the rolls won't have risen much, but they will feel puffy. Brush the rolls with the eggwash and bake at 400 degrees until they are nicely browned. Baked. A little sticking to the parchment, but not bad. Let them cool (at least a little bit) before eating - or risk burning yourself on the hot filling. This has been submitting to YeastSpotting. The Caprese Salad is becoming old hat, but I've been making dishes like this for a long time, and I think I'll continue to do so even after it falls out of fashion. The tomatoes were a dark heirloom variety from Ollin Farms, the (very very) fresh mozzarella was from Deli Italia in Lakewood, the basil was from a pot growing in my back yard, and the black and white flake salt was from Marczyk Fine Foods. There was a drizzle of balsamic vinegar that I had on hand. The first time I encountered hummus, I had no idea what I was eating, but I liked it. Later, I found it pre-made at grocery stores. I still didn't know what was in it, but it was interesting. I might have glanced at the ingredients list, but back then I probably didn't know that garbanzo beans and chickpeas were the same thing. And then I forgot about it. The next time I ran into hummus, it was one of those slap-yourself-in-the-head moments. The dip that I thought was so mysterious and exotic and probably difficult to make was little more than mashed chickpeas.Sure, there are flavorings added, but it's not a difficult dish, particularly if you've got a food processor or blender to do the work. Recently, I've seen all sorts of things called hummus. Green pea hummus, for example. Okay, if peas can be hummus, what about using other beans? Butter beans? That might work. Pinto beans? Um, isn't that sort of like refried beans? I've also read recipes that claim if a hummus doesn't include tahini, it's not real hummus. And I've also read recipes that say it's fine to leave out, but you shouldn't substitute. Tahini, if you're not familiar with it, is a paste made from sesame seeds. Personally, although I love sesame seeds, I have a love-hate relationship with tahini. Sometimes it's too bitter. And even when it's good, I always end up with too much of it. Hummus recipes use just a little tahini, and I don't make hummus often. So no matter how much tahini I have, it's too much. Sometimes I add sesame oil to the hummus, but lately I've been leaving it out and going with other flavors. Chickpeas went into the food processor with a nice pinch of salt, and I started whizzing them up. I added the cashew butter - about a quarter cup, and then added water until it got close to the right texture, then added just a little bit of both the olive oils for. It was about a tablespoon of the oils all together, and more lemon than garlic. If I had made the chickpeas from dried, I would have used the cooking liquid, but I don't care for the liquid in canned beans, which is why I used water. If you like the liquid in the can, use that; If you use freshly cooked chickpeas, use the cooking liquid. I tasted it for seasoning and added just a bit more salt. And that was it. I served it with the wedges of the tomato flatbreads I made yesterday. These flatbreads are a pretty orange color; perfect to impress company and easy enough to make any day for sandwich wraps - or to go with dinner. The tomato flavor is there, but it's not overwhelming, so these won't clash with other dishes on the menu. But of course, this recipe is infinitely adaptable to make it mesh better with your meal. Add any herbs or spices you want. For most, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon would be right. The sundried tomatoes I used were the ones that are sold in grocery stores near the dried fruits. They're soft and pliable, and in the package I bought, each piece was half of a tomato. so I used eight of those pieces. I also saw smoked sundried tomatoes, which looked interesting. I'm sure those would be fine as well. My instructions have the sundried tomatoes added at the end of processing, since the food processor could break them up too much if they were added earlier and I wanted larger pieces. If you prefer smaller bits, add them earlier and/or chop them finer. If you really want a smokey flavor, use smoked paprika instead of the sweet paprika in the recipe. If you want a little kick, use a sharp paprika. The choices are yours. I made eight flatbreads about 6 inches in diameter with from this recipe, If you wanted smaller flatbreads for appetizers, you could keep dividing and make 24 or more smaller portions. One thing to keep in mind is that these don't expand in diameter when they cook, but they do get a bit thicker, so roll them a thinner than what you want to end up with. You can find tomato powder at spice shops online if you can't find it locally. Tomato paste could be substituted, but it won't have as much tomato flavor, and you might need to use a bit less water or add just a little flour. Put the flour, tomato powder, yeast, sugar, salt, and paprika in the bowl of your food processor fitted with the dough blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the vinegar to the water and pour that through the feed tube of the processor while it is running, pouring just as fast as the liquid can be absorbed. When it forms a ball, stop the processor and see if the dough is properly elastic. It should be completely smooth and silky, and very elastic. It might be a little sticky; that's fine. If it's not stretchy enough, process again in thirty-second increments, checking it each time. If the dough starts getting warm, stop for a few minutes to let it cool down. When the dough is properly elastic, add the sundried tomatoes and pulse a few times, then add the oil through the feed tube while the processor is running. Stop when the oil has been incorporated. Leave the food processor covered and let the dough rest for at least ten minutes, or up to 30 minutes. Flour your work surface and knead the dough briefly, then divide it into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten each ball into a disk. Heat a cast iron skillet or comal over medium heat - no oil. Roll the first disk to about 6 inches in diameter. Meanwhile, bubbles will begin rising on the top surface. When the bottom is browned, flip the flatbread over and cook for another 20-30 seconds. Remove the flatbread from the pan and put it on a clean kitchen towel and cover with the ends of the towel. You should be able to roll a new flatbread as the previous one cooks. Pile them up on the towel and keep them covered as they cool. These are best served fresh, but they're also good cold or reheated briefly on a hot pan. On a hot day, a cool, refreshing cucumber salad makes a great side dish. This one couldn't get any simpler. You can certainly add seasonal herbs and spices, but I think that incredibly fresh pickling cucumbers don't a lot of extra flavors. And really, this is a cooling side dish. Put your herbs and spices in the main dish. I like either wine vinegar or rice vinegar for these cucumbers, but you could use something else. This time I used a red wine vinegar, and immediately gave the onions a nice pink tinge. While this is an incredibly simple dish, it had several faces. When freshly made, the vegetables are crisp and bright. Let it marinate over night, and the vegetables become more like a pickle. But then you've got another choice... you'll see. Peel and halve the onions and slice. I like them a little thick, but slice them the way you like them. Put them in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt, and stir to combine. Peel the cucumbers, cut off the ends, and slice. At this point, the onions should have exuded some moisture. Rinse them, drain them, and add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl. Add the sugar and vinegar, stir to combine. Let it sit for a few minutes, then taste it to check for the tartness; add more sugar if it needs it. While some salt remains even after you rinse the onions, you can add more if you want it. Now, here's the twist. After the salad sits overnight, I often turn it into a different salad. I drain all the liquid and add either sour cream or yogurt (preferably Greek-style for the thickness, but regular plain yogurt is fine.) Mix that in, and it becomes a different sort of salad. And while I often leave the first salad un-herbed, I like the creamy version with some fresh dill. This was sort of an experimental loaf. The ingredients were pretty standard, but I adjusted the way I combined them. I'm happy with the way the loaf came out. Flavor was good, texture was good, and elasticity was good when I was kneading and forming the loaf. I'm not saying that anything I did was essential to making the bread, but it all made perfect sense at the time. Since I was using milk, it needed to be scalded before use, and then it had to be cooled before using so it didn't kill the yeast. Since I keep my whole grain flours in the freezer or refrigerator, it made sense to add the cold flour to the warm milk to moderate the temperature. Meanwhile, I mixed the yeast, yogurt and sugar while the milk and flour mixture was cooling off. I figured that it would give the yeast just a little bit of a head start at softening and activating. Heat the milk to just below the boiling point in a small saucepan, and set it aside to cool for a few minutes, then add the rye flour and stir to combine/ Set this mixture aside to cool until it is lukewarm. Meanwhile, combie the sugar, yeast, and yogurt in the bowl of your stand mixer. When the milk and flour mixture had cooled sufficiently, add it to the yeast mixture, stir to combine, and set aside for 10 minutes. Add the bread flour and knead with the dough hook until the mixture becomes elastic. Add the salt, caraway seeds, and olive oil, and continue kneading until it has all been incorporated. Form the dough into a ball and put it back into the bowl (or a clean bowl, if you prefer) drizzle a little olive oil over it to coat, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Set aside to rise until the dough has doubled in size, about an hour. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a baking sheet and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface and knead the bread briefly, then form it into your desired shape. I went with an oval loaf. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Slash the loaf as desired and bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes, until nicely browned. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. If you're going to serve a loaf of bread to company, why not make it pretty as well as delicious? This one looks impressive, but it's simple to do. As far as flavor, I brought this one to a potluck, and one of the comments was that it was so good, it didn't need butter. It's not a plain white loaf - there's semolina and oatmeal to add character and flavor - but it's also very approachable for diners who aren't adventurous. And while it's a dressy-looking bread for dinner, the leftovers are perfect for breakfast toast or lunch sandwiches. If you don't need a fancy loaf, you can skip the snipping and make it a plain loaf. Or use the snipping technique with your own favorite bread recipe. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Stir to combine and set aside for 10 minutes until it is frothy. Add the semolina and oatmeal, stir to combine, and set aside for another 10 minutes, until the oatmeal softens and the mixture is bubbly. Add the bread flour and the egg, and knead with the dough hook until the mixture begins to get elastic. Add the salt and the olive oil and continue kneading until the mixture is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. There may be some nubby lumps from the oatmeal, but the dough itself should be smooth and stretchy. Form the dough into a ball and put it back into the mixer bowl (or a clean bowl, if you prefer) drizzle it with a bit of olive oil, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Set it aside to rise until doubled, about an hour. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and sprinkle some cornmeal on a sheet pan. Sprinkle some flour on your work surface. Take the dough out of the bowl, knead it a bit, and form it into a smooth, tight ball. Place it on your sheet pan, seam-side down. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled, about 30 minutes. With a small, sharp pair of scissors, starting at the top of the loaf, make a series of snips around the loaf. You can make as many as you like, make them as large or small as you like, in any pattern. I made rows of concentric circles around the loaf, but you could do lines down the loaf, or a spiral pattern. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, until the loaf is golden brown. Fresh, home made pasta is a great thing, but most people stick to simple shapes like flat noodles. A few more might make filled pastas like ravioli or shapes like gnocchi. But what about tubular pastas? Can you make those at home? Yes, you can, if you have the right equipment. Tubular pasta is extruded through dies, and I have an attachment for my KitchenAid stand mixer called the Pasta Press that's made to do just that. It came with dies for rotini, spaghetti, and several different sizes of tubular pasta. I went with the die labeled "large macaroni" which made ridged noodles about the size of rigatoni. I used the recipe from the KitchenAid manual that came with the Pasta Press. Unfortunately, the recipe uses cup measurements for the flour, so it's not as accurate as it could be. I estimated 4 ounces per cup, since it specified sifted flour. The instructions about adding water is also just a bit ambiguous. I'm still not sure if the extra tablespoon of water is supposed to be to adjust the egg measure, or if it's in addition to that. Break eggs into a glass (Why glass? I don't know. That's what the instructions said.) measuring cup. Check to see that the eggs measure 7/8 of a cup. If less, add water to equal 7/8 cup. Place flour and salt in the bowl of the stand mixer and mix with flat beater on speed 2, adding egg (and 1 tablespoon water?) gradually. Mix for 30 seconds, then stop the mixer and exchange the flat paddle for the dough hook. Knead with the dough hook for 2 minutes at speed 2. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead on a clean surface. It may appear crumbly. Hand knead until the dough is smooth, pliable, and holds together in a ball. Form walnut-sized pieces and feed them into the pasta extruder. Cut and separate the pieces, and dry as desired. Cook in salted boiling water until pasta is al dente. I served the pasta with Italian sausage and peppers I had cooked earlier for sandwiches, and added homemade tomato sauce and fresh basil to round it out a bit. I've got to saw that the press makes it really simple to make complicated pasts shapes. I've got to get better at cutting the pasta in completely even lengths. Meanwhile, I'm still tweaking the flour/liquid ratio since the included recipe isn't as accurate as it could be. 3-Ingredient Vanilla Frozen Yogurt from "The Perfect Scoop" Okay...it's a couple of scoops. I've never had an ice cream recipe from David Lebovitz go wrong, and this one from his book The Perfect Scoop is no exception. Except, well, it's frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. The Vanilla Frozen Yogurt recipe offered a few variations - use plain whole-milk yogurt, strain the yogurt for a smoother, creamier consistency, or buy Greek-style yogurt. I usually make my own yogurt and strain it, but didn't have any one hand so I bought some Greek-style yogurt. My favorite brand is Fage, and I usually buy the Fage Total, but after checking two stores, I had to settle for the Fage Total 2%, which is lower in fat. Oh well. Lebovitz noted that strained or Greek-style yogurt could be substituted cup-for-cup for regular whole-milk yogurt in any of his recipes without any variations in the recipes, but for the Vanilla Frozen Yogurt, he had two variations - one with plain and one with strained yogurt. I followed the directions for the strained yogurt, which required a bit less sugar. The resulting frozen yogurt was a bit - shattery - after it was in the freezer for a while, and I was worried that it would have that awful crushed-ice texture that you sometimes get in ice creams. But after the yogurt warmed just a bit, it was smooth and creamy, with no nasty ice crystals. Here's one scoop. Pretty as a picture. It was also a very stark white. The vanilla ice creams I make usually end up being a bit more yellow from the egg yolks, but this was very, very white since the only coloring was the tiny bit of vanilla. There was a bit of tang from the yogurt, but that was nicely balanced by the added sugar. So it was a sweet dessert, but not overly sweet. If you're making this, use a yogurt that you like. Since there's not much else in there, you're going to taste that yogurt's flavor. Mix all ingredients, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Churn in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.

Available from http://www.omjournal.org/fultext_PDF.aspx?DetailsID=190&type=fultext Objective: To compare the effects of losartan and enalapril on themarkers of metabolic syndrome. Methods: One hundred and twenty six newly diagnosedhypertensive patients having other markers of metabolicsyndrome participated in this study. The study was performed inthe department of pharmacology, college of medicine at Ibn-SinaTeaching Hospital in Mosul city, Iraq, during the period betweenDecember 2007 and June 2009. The patients were divided into 2main groups: 1) Losartan group: consisted of 60 patients, and 2)enalapril group: Consisted of 66 patients. Waist circumference,weight, Body mass index, blood pressure, serum glucoseconcentration, triglyceride and HDL-cholestrol were measuredbefore and after administration of therapy. The effects of therapywere assessed by statistically comparing the results before andafter the drug administration. Results: Comparison of waist circumference, blood pressure,FSG, triglycerides of the patients before drug administration(baseline data), with those of the controls showed a significantelevation, while HDL-cholesterol showed a significant reduction.A significant reduction of waist circumference, BP, FSG and asignificant elevation of HDL-cholesterol were also noted aftertherapy with both losartan and enalapril. Conclusion: Both losartan and enalapril produced a significantreduction of markers of metabolic syndrome and may be regardedas effective drugs for treatment of hypertension in patients withmarkers of metabolic syndrome. Keywords: Metabolic syndrome; Losartan; Enalapril; Hypertension. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by the variable coexistence of excess body fat, hyperinsulinemia (insulin resistance and glucose intolerance), dyslipidemia (high triglycerides and total cholesterol plasma levels), and hypertension.1,2 The presence of metabolic syndrome predicts a two-to-four-fold increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease and death,3 and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes is increased five-to-nine-fold.4 Insulin stimulates glucose uptake into tissues, and its ability to do so varies greatly among individuals. Resistance to the action of insulin leads to insulin resistant syndrome. Hyperinsulinemia results to prevent loss of glucose tolerance in insulin resistant individuals. The combination of insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia predispose to the development of a cluster of abnormalities, including some degree of glucose intolerance, an increase in plasma triglycerides and a decrease in HDL-cholesterol concentrations. The cluster of changes associated with insulin resistance has been said to comprise syndrome X (metabolic syndrome).5 The MS pathogenesis is multifactorial and is related to central obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, an unbalanced diet and genetic predisposition. Insulin resistance is described as the central feature of MS.6 The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an important link between MS and cardiovascular diseases. All of the main RAS components are present in adipose tissue.7 RAS consists primarily of an enzymatic cascade in which angiotensinogen (AGT) is converted to angiotensin I (Ang I), and subsequently to Ang II by the actions of renin and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), respectively.8 Increased levels of Ang II have been observed in both obesity and diabetes patients. RAS components, especially AGT found in adipose tissue are closely related to the Ang II effects on insulin resistance.9,10 Furthermore, AGT secretion, as well as Ang II formation in adipocytes are increased in MS patients promoting adipocyte growth, which could explain the positive correlation between high blood pressure and increased adipose-tissue mass in these patients.11 Treatment of the MS encompasses two goals. The first is to address its underlying causes, namely obesity. The second goal is to treat all of its component clinical risk factors.1,12 As metabolic syndrome involves a clusters of a number of risk factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity, and hyperglycemia; it is therefore in patients with MS, an effective antihypertensive agent with minimal, if any, negative effects on metabolic parameters should be used.13 The patients in the present study are hypertensive patients having markers of metabolic syndrome. Thus, the aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of two antihypertensive drugs losartan (Ang II receptor blocker) and enalapril (ACE inhibitor) on BP and other markers of MS. One hundred and twenty six newly diagnosed hypertensive, patients with other markers of metabolic syndrome participated in this study. They were selected from the out-patient clinic in Ibn-Sina teaching hospital in Mosul city. The study protocol was approved by regional Research Ethics Committees at the College of Medicine and Mosul Health Administration. The study was an open, controlled, comparative, clinical trial of two months duration, performed during the period between 1st December 2007 and 1st June 2009. The patients were divided into two main groups: 1) Losartan group: consisted of 60 patients, with an age range between 39 and 68 years. They were kept on losartan (Angizar 50 mg, Micro pharmaceutical industries, Co. Ltd., India) for 2 months on 50 mg once daily oral dose; and 2) enalapril group: consisted of 66 patients, with an age range of 35 to 68 years. They were kept on enalapril (Enalapril 20 mg, Asia pharmaceutical industries, Co. Ltd., Aleppo-Syria), for 2 months on a 20 mg once daily oral dose. The inclusion criteria included hypertensive patients (stage I) who meet the diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome according to the American National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III,2 blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/ 85, waist circumference greater than 102 cm for men and 88 for women, fasting blood glucose levels ≥110 mg/dl (≥6.1 mmol/l), triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l), and HDL-cholesterol <40 mg/dl (1.04 mmol/l) for men and <50 mg/dl (1.3 mmol/l) for women. Whereas, the exclusion criteria included patients having a current diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, patients on antihypertensive therapy or any drug that affects blood pressure, patients with a history of hepatic, cardiac, renal or blood diseases or other diseases which may interfere with the study, patients having hypersensitivity to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor antagonists, patients with a history of severe or resistant hypertension, patients with secondary hypertension of any etiology, pregnant or breast feeding women, and patients with serious disorders which may limit the ability to evaluate the efficacy of the trial drugs. Seventy apparently healthy, non-obese, normotensive individuals, whose age ranged between 40 and 62 years, were used as a control group. The selection of each control should have the BMI within normal range (18-25 kg/m2). Waist circumference in (cm) was determined with a standard tape measure, as the point midway between the costal margin and iliac crest in the mid-axillary line, with the subject standing and breathing normally.14 Blood pressure was measured for each subject by the usual mercury sphygmomanometer from the arm in the sitting position. Measurement was taken after at least five minutes of rest. Serum glucose concentration (FSG) was estimated by glucose-oxidase-peroxidase colorimetric method,15 using a kit supplied by BIOCON (Germany). Serum triglycerides and HDL-Cholesterol were measured using special Kits supplied by BIOLABO (France). The effects of the drugs on the markers of MS were assessed by comparing the results of each drug before and after drug administration. Statistical analysis was performed using the unpaired t-test to compare between the ages of the two groups, and between the baselines data of the patient and control group. Paired student t-test was used to compare the results before and after drug therapy. The statistical results were considered significant at p=0.05 or less. The age, weight, BMI and number of males and females of the patients and controls are presented in Table 1. There were no significant differences between the age of participants in the 3 groups (p>0.5). However, there were significant differences between weight and BMI in the patient groups and the control group, (p<0.001). Table 1: Characterestics of patients and controls. Baseline measurement of waist circumference, BP, FSG, and triglycerides of patient groups showed a significant elevation compared with the control group (p<0.001), while HDL-cholesterol showed lowered values compared with the controls (p<0.001). (Table 2) Table 2: Baseline data of the patient groups as compared with the control group (Mean±SD). SBP= Systolic blood pressure; DBP= Diastolic blood pressure; FSG= Fasting serum glucose; HDL= High density lipoproteins. Comparison of the markers of MS before and after treatment with losartan, or enalapril showed a significant reduction of all markers except for triglycerides, while HDL-cholesterol showed a significant elevation only in the losartan group, (Tables 3, 4). On the other hand, there was a significant reduction in BMI and weight in patients after therapy administered with either losartan or enalapril. (Table 5) Table 3: Markers of metabolic syndrome before and after treatment with losartan (Mean±SD). Table 4: Markers of metabolic syndrome before and after treatment with enalapril (Mean±SD). Table 5: Effects of losartan and enalapril on body weight and BMI of the patients. The present study demonstrates a beneficial effect of losartan or enalapril on BP and other markers of MS. A significant reduction of measures of obesity (weight, BMI and WC) were obtained after therapy with losartan or enalapril. Obesity may play a central role in the development of MS, thus increasing obesity is positively correlated with blood pressure, fasting glucose, and triglycerides; and negatively correlated with changes in HDL cholesterol.16 Reports in the literature demonstrate a relationship between renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) and obesity; and a significant increase in the activity and concentrations of (RAAS) components have been reported in obese subjects.17-19 Engeli et al.20 reported that weight reduction is associated with a reduction of angiotensinogen levels, renin, aldosterone and ACE activity, as well as the reduction of angiotensinogen levels, which was highly correlated with a decline in waist circumference. In the present study, both enalapril and losartan significantly reduced body weight, BMI, and WC in patients with MS. Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor and losartan is an AII receptor antagonist, they act by reducing the activity of RAAS in the body. Thus, their effects may be related to reducing the activity and the effect of ACE system on obesity. A significant reduction of BP was obtained after 2 months treatment with both drugs, indicating beneficial effects of these drugs in the treatment of BP in patients with MS. Although both drug classes are highly effective in lowering BP in patients with essential hypertension,21-23 their comparative antihypertensive effectiveness are uncertain in patients with metabolic syndrome.24 The association between BMI and BP have been demonstrated,25 and there is evidence to suggest that obesity is a casual factor in the development of hypertension in obese individuals.26 Accordingly, the beneficial effect of losartan and enalapril on BP reported in the present study may be related mostly to their effects on RAAS, and partly on body weight, BMI and WC. The present study demonstrates the beneficial effects of losartan and enalapril on FSG. The patients in the present study were hypertensive; having FSG concentration of ≥110 mg/dl. ACE inhibitors and Ang IIR antagonists may exert beneficial effects on glycemic control through a variety of mechanisms related to the inhibition of the angiotensin II, which activates the sympathetic nervous system resulting in the impairment of insulin secretion and peripheral glucose uptake. Angiotensin II also impairs pancreatic blood flow and enhances insulin resistance.27 The findings from recent clinical trials support the hypothesis that suppression of RAAS, either by inhibition of ACE or blockade of the AngT1R, substantially lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes.28-31 Regarding the effects of losartan and enalapril therapy on triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol; there were no significant effects observed on triglycerides after treatment with losartan or enalapril, and a significant elevation of HDL-Cholesterol was obtained only after therapy with losartan. The effect of losartan on HDL-cholesterol was in agreement with other reports, which also revealed beneficial effects of losartan on HDL-cholesterol levels.32,33 Losartan and enalapril can reduce the markers of MS and may be regarded as useful antihypertensive agents for the treatment of hypertensive patients having markers of metabolic syndrome. The authors reported no conflict of interest and no funding was received on this work. 1.

The Mercer Rubber Company was started in 1865 and specialized in molded rubber mechanical products, rubber sheeting and conveyor belting. The company began building rubber expansion joints in the early 1930s. Mason Industries, one of the world's largest producers of molded rubber expansion joints, acquired the company in 1982. Mercer is managed by professional engineers and the engineering staff is larger than any other similar company. Hand-built flexible expansion joints for piping and duct work solve problems that cannot be handled by other materials. Rubber is more compliant and resilient than metal, fiberglass or plastic. The technology behind building shapes for industrial applications has grown. The United States chemical and industrial complex is in the forefront of synthetic rubber for chemical resistance and temperature extremes. Modern reinforcement fabrics and tire cord have completely replaced early designs using cotton and rayon. The end result is a lighter, more flexible, higher pressure and temperature resistant product.

Disc one of this two-CD set contains recordings of Teresa Sterne's performances made from 1938 to 1951, both solo and with the CBS Concert Orchestra and New York Philharmonic. The second disc highlights Sterne's favorite recordings from her tenure at Nonesuch Records, including performances by Paul Jacobs, Joshua Rifkin, Jan DeGaetani, Gilbert Kalish, Joan Morris, and William Bolcom, plus selections from the Explorer series. The set includes a 48-page booklet with essays by William Bolcom, George Crumb, Richard Freed, Gilbert Kalish, David Lewiston, and Nonesuch Records President Robert Hurwitz. At the tender age of four Teresa Sterne declared that Bach was her "sweetheart." Born into a musical family in Brooklyn in 1927, Sterne's mother, a professional cellist who abandoned her career to devote herself to her daughter's artistic development, and her uncle, a distinguished violinist, helped guide Sterne to fully realize her natural talents. At the age of 12, Teresa Sterne made a most auspicious performance debut, appearing with the NBC Symphony and the New York Philharmonic Symphony (the two major orchestras in New York at that time) in her first two public appearances. The recordings contained in this release were made between 1938 and 1951, of repertoire ranging from Bach's Italian Concerto, to the piano concertos of Mozart and Rachmaninov (the latter recorded with the New York Philharmonic), and the Piano Sonata of Dutch-born conductor and composer David Broekman, a long-time mentor and friend. The engineer Allan Evans, a close colleague of Ms. Sterne's, helped to uncover the master tapes and supervised the remastering of the archived materials for release. When Sterne decided to set aside her career as a concert pianist, determined to understand the practicalities of the music business and to find her way in the working world, she could not have imagined the important work that lay ahead and the impact it was to have on the business and future of new music. Sterne was hired to run Nonesuch Records in 1965 by Jac Holzman, the founder of the label and head of the then-parent company, Elektra Records, where she was known as "Tracey" to her colleagues. When she took over Nonesuch she combined a fierce commitment to new and adventurous repertoire with the instincts of a performing musician, and began to make her mark on the record business. Over the course of the fifteen years that followed Tracey had the conviction to record music as diverse as the first three string quartets of Elliott Carter and works by Edgard Varèse; the music of George Crumb and the work of other lesser-known composers as William Bolcom, John Harbison, Charles Wuorinen, John Cage, and Morton Subotnick. She produced recordings of the piano rags of Scott Joplin, performed by Joshua Rifkin, creating such a sensation that two additional releases followed, and a Joplin revival had begun. All the while Sterne maintained a commitment to such diverse repertoire as the music of Stephen Foster, turn-of-the-century American songwriters, Civil War songs and show music from the 1920s and '30s. She also sought out top-notch performers who were not necessarily household names, and built lifelong professional and personal relationships with such performers as Jan DeGaetani, Gilbert Kalish and Paul Jacobs. In 1966 she initiated the Explorer Series imprint, issuing some of the first recordings to document both ceremonial and secular ethnic music from six continents and numerous islands, released to the public for the first time. The Explorer Series, a catalog that now boasts nearly a hundred titles, set the stage for what became a new genre in the record business, so-called "world music." Sterne's contribution to the field of music, both old and new, while as a performer herself and as a skilled producer and label executive, is evidenced in the release of Teresa Sterne: A Portrait. It is a testament to her personal and professional integrity that such a diverse body of repertoire, all performed at such a high level, could be collected in one place, and ultimately under one name.

I obtained a PhD in Physics at the University of Zaragoza, Spain, where I developed novel nanofabrication techniques based on focused electron and ion beams. In 2010 I became a postdoc at the group of Prof. Cowburn at Imperial College. That same year, I moved at the University of Cambridge, being awarded with a Marie Curie Fellow to work at the Cavendish Laboratory on three-dimensional magnetic nanostructures. From 2014 I am an EPSRC Early Career Fellow and a Winton Advanced Research Fellow at the Cavendish Laboratory, where I am investigating new ways to fabricate nanomagnets, aiming to create a new generation of spintronic devices. I investigate more efficient mechanisms to store information using Nanotechnology and magnetic materials. In particular, I am using advanced direct-write nanolithography techniques based on focused electron and ion beams to pattern magnetic materials at the nanoscale, aiming to create a new generation of spintronic devices. My research has applications in many Nanotechnology areas, which allows me to collaborate with a wide range of research groups around the world. R. Lavrijsen, J.H Lee, A. Fernández-Pacheco, D.

British Linkz Home Caribbean News Vybz Kartel Releases New Album To Tanesha Vybz Kartel Releases New Album To Tanesha Dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel showcases a softer, more personal and introspective side through his brand new album affectionately titled, To Tanesha. Released, January 10th the 10-track album is dedicated to his common-law wife, Tanesha Johnson, who fans know as "Shorty." While it's not uncommon to hear singing from the artiste, the project takes a step in a new direction by being a centrally Hip Hop and R&B album, which goes to show just how diverse Vybz Kartel is and listeners can always expect the unexpected. "Like I said, it's definitely a Hip Hop and R&B album as far as the tracks and a lot of the language I use, but trust me when I say I am in no way trying to be a hip hop artiste or switching genre camps! It's just a Dancehall artiste expressing certain emotions to his baby mom and I decided it would be a pleasant surprise to express those emotions through other black urban genres. I mean R&B and Hip Hop are huge in Jamaica and maybe even played more than Dancehall so it's not an alien concept," expressed Kartel. To Tanesha is co-produced by Short Boss Muzik and Vybz Kartel Muzik, with engineering done by Ricardo "RedBoomSupaMix" Reid. The album features some of dancehall and reggae's most prolific artistes such as Jesse Royal and Jada Kingdom, as well as Jodi Couture, UTG and Sikka Rymes, who are signed to the Vybz Kartel Muzik label. "As it relates to Jada Kingdom & Jesse Royal, they are two people who I admire and while listening to each track I just felt that their unique styles were the right match for the project," the artiste explained. Known for a plethora of music, Vybz Kartel explained the process of creating the tracks for the album. "Shaping the sound for this new album was a "play by ear" process as I've never done a Hip Hop and R&B- influenced album before but being a big fan of my American cousins' genres, I pretty much knew how to shape my original melodies. I actually wrote 9 of the songs on Dancehall beats and switched the tracks to Hip Hop via Jay Crazie the Genius and one other beat was already Hip Hop; that one is from Guala beats," he said. Distributed by Zojak Worldwide, "To Tanesha" is available for streaming and purchase on all major digital platforms online. "I'd like to thank my engineer Ricardo "RedBoomSupaMix" Ried , also the Composers on the album, Jay Crazie da Genius and Guala Beats , thanks to TJ Records for getting things done when I couldn't, to my distributor Zojak World Wide ( especially Zoe ) and last but the opposite of least , To Tanesha ( pun intended ) thanks for being my muse."

Salsa is one of those things I usually buy in a jar. I don't know why I don't make my own salsa more often, it's not like it's difficult to do. I think it's because fresh tomatoes in any other season but the current one are always so anemic-looking and tasteless. But tomatoes are spectacular right now, that's for sure. This is the best tomato season I can remember in a long time here in North Carolina. I decided to take advantage of the bounty and make my own salsa. The salsa recipe below gets a boost of protein from the shrimp and you can make it as low-sodium as you'd like. Plus you won't have to worry about what that mysterious "natural flavoring" might be. The majority of the sodium in the recipe comes from the shrimp, tomato sauce and the added salt. If you are watching your sodium intake, reduce the amount of shrimp, use low-sodium tomato sauce and/or skip the added salt. If you want to start with raw shrimp, keep it in the shell and bring a combination of water and apple cider vinegar to boil in a large pot. Add the shrimp and cook just until the shrimp turns opaque (it won't take longer than about 3 minutes). Transfer the shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. When cool enough to handle, peel the shrimp and proceed with the recipe. If hot and spicy isn't your thing, substitute a banana pepper or some green bell pepper for the jalapeño. Serve this Shrimp Salsa with celery sticks, sliced cucumbers or tortilla chips (if you can afford the carbs). Chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces. Add to large nonreactive bowl along with the onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, avocado, garlic, lime juice and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Leftover salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Nutritional information is for the salsa only and does not include any dippers.

Sleep is an important time when the human body and brain rest. This watch should be surrounded by comfort. Everything is important here – the situation, silence, clean linen, and not least a comfortable mattress. There are many orthopedic products of this kind on the market. These mattresses are distinguished by their price, technical characteristics and user capabilities. It is important to understand that the choice of this product depends not only on sleep, but also on health. Make the right choice based on their requirements and financial capabilities will help the following tips. Of great importance in choosing a mattress is the age of the one who will sleep on it. If they are children under 12 years old and elderly people, then they will come up with springless mattresses. The filler for them is better to choose hypoallergenic. The reason for this approach is that even high-quality non-expensive items with a spring block vibrate small. This will have a bad effect on the growing body or on the musculoskeletal system of an elderly person. For those who do not fall within this age range, it is worth choosing among the spring products with an independent spring block. This is the best thing in this class. Independent springs seem to be packed in separate glasses, unlike the traditional spring weave. The quality of this mattress is considered to be the higher the more springs will be in its block. For those who weigh more than 90 kilograms, it is worth choosing special products. Their filler should be sisal, horse hair or coconut coir. Such natural materials are quite elastic and do not allow the mattress block to sag from a significant weight. There may be a situation where two persons with a significant difference in weight, more than 30 kilograms, plan to rest on the mattress. For such a pair it is worth buying spring mattresses with the maximum number of springs per square meter. This indicator should exceed 500 units. The best option for such people is the "spring in spring" system. It is known for its increased rigidity, and will last for a long time. With such a mattress, turning a heavy man from side to side will not deform the horizontal base and cause discomfort to the partner. The Bonnel system is based on a woven spring block. It is chosen by buyers who want to save money. In a dependent system, biconical springs are intertwined, but in terms of comfort level they can not compete with an independent spring unit. It distributes the load more sporadically and evenly. In a mattress with Bonnel, the whole system tenses at the same time, which allows the body to fail. Saving when choosing a mattress will turn into unpleasant sensations when you rest. Natural materials remain popular, but modern fillers are constantly improving their characteristics. They already have little in common with natural analogues. Today, combinations of artificial latex or stratto with coconut fiber or flax are often used. The functional of such a filler will be excellent. Plus, the artificial basis is still and its hypoallergenicity. A porous or fibrous structure will help remove excess moisture from the mattress. Often a mattress is considered orthopedic only because it has a rigid block. In fact, the term itself is more marketing than it determines some specific consumer properties. The main thing in the product – its maximum convenience for the owner, the ability to evenly distribute the load, without creating dips and bumps. Orthopedic same effect will have any good mattress, which will be able to maintain the correct position of the human musculoskeletal system. Choosing a mattress with this innovative filler, do not forget about common sense. It will help to resist the arguments of marketers. It is true that cellular material is able to remember the shape of the body, but much more importantly its durability and hypoallergenicity.Such parameters are worth appreciating. And many consumers are not at all delighted that the mattress beneath them does not respond with reciprocal pressure, preferring an elastic base. So the technology MEMORY – not the best option, but just one of the interesting. Choose the same, based on personal preferences. An interesting option is bilateral mattresses with different degrees of rigidity. Thanks to this product, you can manually change the orthopedic features of your mattress. In winter, it is pleasant to relax on the soft side. But in the summer the mattress should be turned over. The hard base will be well ventilated, allowing the body to feel cool. Fans of all natural even mattress covers prefer to search from natural tissues. Here only products created on the basis of combined or synthetic fabrics, are much more practical or durable. Picking the upholstery, it is better to pay attention to mattresses with a single or double cotton jacquard, quilted to the same sintepon. The fabric is known for its durability and durability, awarding the cover with a long service life. But the flock padding is not the best option. Material, although super-strong, will breathe through its micropores. It is believed that for a better combination of strength and hygiene, the ratio of natural and synthetic components of the cover should be 70% to 30%. The approach to choice. When choosing a mattress, many people try to lie on it directly in the store, or by pressing hands try to evaluate the quality of the packing and filler. In any case, the first night spent on the product will not be comfortable – the body takes time to get used to the new base. It is believed that it is necessary to spend a couple of nights on the new mattress before the dream becomes truly calm. During this time, the body can adapt to such a basis. In fact, going to the store is no better in terms of choice than visiting an online store of sleeping attributes. You just need to choose a product that really will meet the stated parameters, and which will be covered by the warranty. Any mattress, like all its components, must have a certificate confirming compliance with the standards. If the product does not have a similar document, then it should not be purchased.

Q: Javascript alert in JSF I have a method called bilgidorumu() in a managed bean class to check input. If there is a match with database (username and password), the application should go to the welcome page anasayfa.xhtml, else, it stays at the same page (index.xhtml). My problem is that I want to show an alert before staying on the same page (index.xhtml). So if there is no match for username/password, it should display an alert first, and stays then at index.xhtml. But I have no idea how to do that because Javascript runs on client side and Java code in server side. I have tried to display the alert with onclick event but it's not working: <h:commandButton value="GİRİŞ" styleClass="button" action="#{kntrl.bilgidorumu()}" onclick="onBack()"/> My input elements to reach via JS function: <h:inputText id="username" value="#{kntrl.kulad}" pt:placeholder="username" required="true" requiredMessage="Kullanıcı adı girilmesi zorunlu"/> <h:inputSecret id="pw" value="#{kntrl.kulsifre}" pt:placeholder="password" required="true" requiredMessage="Şifre girilmesi zorunlu"/> JS function: function onBack(){ var kulad=document.getElementById("login-form:username").value; var kulsifre=document.getElementById("login-form:pw").value; alert(kulad+kulsifre); } index.xhtml: <div class="login-page"> <div class="form"> <h:form class="register-form"> <h:inputText pt:placeholder="name"/> <input type="password" placeholder="password"/> <input type="text" placeholder="email address"/> <button>create</button> <p class="message">Already registered? <a href="#">Sign In</a></p> </h:form> <h:form class="login-form"> <h:inputText id="username" value="#{kntrl.kulad}" pt:placeholder="username" required="true" requiredMessage="Kullanıcı adı girilmesi zorunlu"/> <h:message for="username" style="color: red"></h:message> <h:inputSecret id="pw" value="#{kntrl.kulsifre}" pt:placeholder="password" required="true" requiredMessage="Şifre girilmesi zorunlu"/> <h:message for="pw" style="color: red; " ></h:message> <h:commandButton value="GİRİŞ" styleClass="button" action="#{kntrl.bilgidorumu()}" onclick="onBack()"/> <p class="message">Not registered? <a href="#">Create an account</a></p> </h:form> </div> </div> <f:verbatim> <script type="text/javascript"> function onBack(){ var kulad=document.getElementById("login-form:username").value; var kulsifre=document.getElementById("login-form:pw").value; alert(kulad+kulsifre); } </script> </f:verbatim> Managed bean: @ManagedBean(name = "kntrl") @RequestScoped public class kontrolet { private int id; private String adsoyad; private String birim; private String bolum; private String unvan; private int puan; private String kulad; private String kulsifre; public kontrolet() { } public String bilgidorumu() throws ScriptException { try { Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/akademiktesvik", "root", ""); String query = "Select * from kisiler"; Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query); while (rs.next()) { if (rs.getString("kulad").equals(kulad) && rs.getString("kulsifre").equals(kulsifre)) { return "anasayfa?faces-redirect=true"; } } } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Baglanti kuurulmadı hata var" + e.getMessage()); } return "index"; } public int getId() { return id; } public void setId(int id) { this.id = id; } public String getAdsoyad() { return adsoyad; } public void setAdsoyad(String adsoyad) { this.adsoyad = adsoyad; } public String getBirim() { return birim; } public void setBirim(String birim) { this.birim = birim; } public String getBolum() { return bolum; } public void setBolum(String bolum) { this.bolum = bolum; } public String getUnvan() { return unvan; } public void setUnvan(String unvan) { this.unvan = unvan; } public int getPuan() { return puan; } public void setPuan(int puan) { this.puan = puan; } public String getKulad() { return kulad; } public void setKulad(String kulad) { this.kulad = kulad; } public String getKulsifre() { return kulsifre; } public void setKulsifre(String kulsifre) { this.kulsifre = kulsifre; } } A: I would not recommend to use a JavaScript alert to do so. But, if you really want to, your question would be a duplicate of: * *Calling a JavaScript function from managed bean I would suggest to simply set a message when the username and password do not match and indicate that the validation failed: FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Your message", "Message details"); context.addMessage(null, message); context.validationFailed(); Note the null in addMessage, this means we don't set a client ID to the message. This makes the message global. To display it on your page, simply use: <h:messages globalOnly="true"/> See also: * *How to display my application's errors in JSF?

Offers for March-loading shipments were heard at USD1,205-1,210/tonne FOB Korea that met bids at USD1,185-1,198/tonne FOB Korea. Boosting the market sentiment in Asia were the gains in US benzene values for prompt January lots to USD4.13-4.17/gal, or USD1,235-1,246/tonne FOB Barges, on Tuesday. But this price upturn in the US could just have resulted from pure market play and not backed by fundamentals, traders said. Benzene supply in Asia is tight in the first quarter due to a slew of plant turnarounds and unplanned shutdowns in South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore, said traders. This was another key factor pushing up prices in recent weeks, they added.

Study Finds More Smokers Quit When Paid February 12, 2009 / 5:25 AM / AP Dangling enough dollars in front of smokers who want to quit helps many more succeed, an experiment with hundreds of General Electric Co. workers indicates. Among those paid up to $750 to quit and stay off cigarettes, 15 percent were still tobacco-free about a year later. That may not sound like much, but it's three times the success rate of a comparison group that got no such bonuses. GE was so impressed it plans to offer an incentive program nationwide next year, aiming to save some of the company's estimated $50 million annually in extra health and other costs for smoking employees. "This kind of reward system provides them with direct, positive feedback in the present," not just delayed, intangible health benefits, said Dr. Kevin Volpp, the lead researcher of the study. Volpp, who oversees the health incentives center at the University of Pennsylvania, called the study the largest ever of employer incentives to stop smoking. Several past studies failed to find higher quit rates linked to financial bonuses, but he said those included too few people or the financial incentives were too tiny, some as low as $10. The $750 was "a good incentive," said Dan Anzalone, a study participant who quit smoking cold turkey three years ago next month - after a 35-year habit. "I was getting rewarded for something that I should be doing anyway," said Anzalone, 54. "You'd be surprised at what that little incentive does." A logistics specialist at a GE plant in Schenectady, New York, Anzalone tried quitting with antidepressants about seven years ago but couldn't. He tried quitting on New Year's Day most years, but generally only lasted a couple days. So he signed up for Penn's federally funded study, unaware that he would be paid. Half the 878 participants, at about 85 U.S. GE sites, were put in the financial rewards group; the other half were just encouraged to join quit-smoking programs and use the company's health coverage for doctor visits and anti-smoking drugs. Results of the study, which began in 2005, were reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The incentive group got increasingly higher payments the longer they stayed off tobacco, up to a total of $750 after 12 months. Anzalone said the incentive program was all he needed: He didn't go to smoking cessation classes or use nicotine patches or gum, or medicines. "Every week got easier and easier," he said. "Now it's been three years and I don't even think about it." The study showed that after nine to 12 months, about 15 percent of those being paid had stayed off cigarettes, compared to just 5 percent of the unpaid group. In addition, four times as many people getting cash completed a smoking cessation program. Volpp said similar numbers of people in the two groups used aids such as nicotine patches and the drug Zyban, which reduces irritability and depression. Dr. Norman Edelman, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association, said paying people for healthy behavior remains controversial. But he said the study was well done because it was "more real-world" than the tests drug companies run to get anti-smoking products approved. Study volunteers decided what classes to attend and which products to use, rather than having tightly controlled conditions and constant calls from nurses checking on them, he noted. Edelman said the 15 percent quit rate is pretty good and that employers should consider trying such a program, although it's not clear it would succeed in settings outside workplaces. GE's chief medical officer, Dr. Robert Galvin, said Wednesday that starting next January, the company will offer a quitting incentive program covering its 152,000 U.S. employees, at more than 250 sites. GE expects to recoup the costs of the smoking cessation program in three to five years. "We know that incentives work," Galvin said. "We're very excited about it." Not all those in the study saw the bonuses as crucial. Guy Ardizzone, 49, an engineer at a GE factory in Madisonville, Kentucky, smoked for "probably 30 years," then quit nearly three years ago. He said other factors were more important than the $750: completing a 12-week smoking cessation course, using Commit lozenges and his own motivation. "I was ready to quit," said Ardizzone, who has five young grandchildren. "I want to enjoy them." First published on February 12, 2009 / 5:25 AM

Someone sent me an email regarding an issue they are facing with their Samsung Galaxy S4. Apparently, they can't receive a text or call unless the phone is restarted. I've copied the email below with his permission. This is definitely a major problem since you are unaware if a person is trying to contact you. There are several factors that could be causing this issue such as the network, the SIM used, or the phone itself. Let's try to eliminate these factors one at a time in the exact order. The easiest way to eliminate any network related issues is to contact your carrier and ask if there is a problem in your particular area. Briefly describe to the representative on the phone the issue you are facing and have them check the status of the tower in your area. To check if it is your SIM card that has a problem try replacing it with another one. This is where the bulk of our troubleshooting will be conducted. Before proceeding make sure you're your phone has the latest software updates installed. These updates come with improvements and bug fixes that may address the issue you are facing right now. What we need to do first is to determine if a certain app that you downloaded is causing this issue. To verify this you need to start your phone in Safe Mode. You may have to run your phone in this mode for a period of time since you will be observing its performance. Take note that you won't have access to third party apps you installed from the Google Play Store since they will be disabled. Tap and hold Power off until the Restart in Safe Mode prompt appears then release. Upon restart, Safe mode appears in the lower-left of the unlock/home screen. · Once in Safe Mode try to observe if the issue still exists. If after using your phone the problem does not occur then it is most likely caused by an app that you have installed. Try to find out what that app is and uninstall it. One last troubleshooting step that you can perform is to do a factory reset on your device. This returns your phone to its original state with the default settings. Take note that your data will be lost in this process so you should make a backup of it before proceeding.

Archives for the month of: December, 2014 The Around-the-Year Storybook December 31, 2014 // We've arrived here, at New Year's Eve, just like we've done every year of our lives. Of course, when you're 4 1/2, that means it's only been (and yet, it's already been!) five years' worth of New Year's Eves. When you're 1 1/2, there's only been one other. So much seems new! (And there are so many new words…) After some party time, they both fell asleep after ten o'clock, Boy snuggled in my arms, Girl snuggled face-to-face with me. "Don't go, stay here and keep me warm," she murmured drowsily as I shifted to cover her up. Their warmth still lingers with me, even as I sit here. We didn't have time to linger over reading, though. Tonight, we read – but barely! – from Kathryn Jackson's The Around-the-Year Storybook, with pictures by J.P. Miller. With stories, poems, and songs (covering the seasons, constellations, and holidays, among other things) for each month of the year, it's a good one to pick up regularly. The animals in the stories, like Mathilda Mouse, Little Bear, and Grandfather Groundhog, are generally charming. It seemed appropriate. The book ends with "And So the Year's Over -" and goes like this: The year is like a rolling wheel That never makes a sound, But changes seasons as it goes A-rolling, rolling round. And when the year has rolled around The old year ends, and then– That rolling wheel of changing days Starts rolling round again. Tonight, Boy rolled from my arms onto the bed – and onto his belly – and Girl rolled onto her side, a snuggle personified. And, with another hour or so, our year, too, will roll around, and we can roll back to the beginning of the book as we start a year anew. May it be a happy new year! Jackson, Kathryn. The Around-the-Year Storybook. New York: Golden Press, 1971. Tags Happy New Year, J.P. Miller, Kathryn Jackson, New Year, New Year's Eve, The Around-the-Year Storybook Categories Books, Children's books, Holidays, Preschoolers, Sleep, Toddlers The answer is no, nearly all the time. Will things always be this way? Will they always wake up at night? Will bedtime always feel epic and exhausting? Will Boy always roam (or stand in his chair) while he's eating instead of sitting at the table? Will Boy always dump out every puzzle we have? Will Boy always take his shoes and socks off within moments of getting in the car? Will Boy always pee on the floor, the couch, and unsuspecting books? Will Boy always prefer liquid mama to solid food? Will Girl always want to talk to me when I'm on the phone with someone else? Will Girl always insist on the other parent at the precise moment you most want to be with her? Will Girl always want me to snuggle her in order to go to sleep? Will Girl always talk in the mouse voice, the one that makes me feel annoyed before even hearing what she says? Will Girl always be upset over scary things in movies and TV shows? Right now, it's 9:14. Girl and Daddy went to a Frozen sing-a-long. After beginning the movie once – and stopping partway through because she was afraid of the wolves and other parts, too – she declared, "I'll watch it when I'm ten." That's been her standard for things like Rudolph, at the point when Clarice is in the Abominable Snowman's grasp. Girl was in tears, and that was the end for her. Until she's ten. She loves the music and can sing the songs (there was at least one month in which we heard the soundtrack every day; Boy knows lots of the words, too!), which is why I thought she'd enjoy it and encouraged her to go; I thought she'd leave after Anne met Kristoff – pre-wolf. I hear the car door, and since the movie started at 7:30, this can only mean one thing: they watched the whole movie. I'm impressed that she's been brave – what a milestone! It's another "no" for the list. No, not always. It only seems that way. While I'm impressed, I'm a little sad, too. Isn't that always the way? Tags Frozen, Frozen sing-a-long Categories Milestones, Preschoolers "Fock," she said the other day, and looked at me craftily – no, not craftily, but testingly, sideways, just a little. "Fock," she said again. She waited. "Oh," I said. I didn't laugh, and I didn't gasp. I remained calm – it's what I'm practicing, being patient and calm. (It's working pretty well, too – now, I sometimes stop myself mid-shout: "Why am I shouting? Tell me to be calm!" My daughter then says, "Be calm, Mama!") Besides, I was thrown for a loop; I hadn't expected this line of conversation. I was trying to figure out how to address this. You can't just say, "Wait a minute honey; I'll be right back after I go read a parenting book for advice on how to deal with this situation." There's a lot of improv, and maybe it's not the kind that would make Second City hire me, but as a parent, you do your best – without cursing yourself for not thoroughly preparing for whatever particular moment you find yourself in. "Is that OK to say?" she asked. "Where did you hear it?" I countered. "At school." Of course. Preschool is educational in many, many ways. "Oh. Who said it?" "One of the kids." Naturally. Or "natch," as my daughter sometimes likes to say. "Fock." She waited again. "It is a bad word?" Earlier this week, she came home from preschool, telling me how someone had said "hate," and that she told the student that that wasn't a nice thing to say. She also told me that the student went on playing and didn't pay attention to her. Someone else said, "Stupid blocks!" and she also said that it isn't nice to call things stupid. In our house, we try to avoid lots of words – and not just the obvious ones. (Once, I said "crap" in front of her, and she repeated it over and over for about a minute. I knew then and there that slipping wasn't an option because I'd hear about it – and so would many, many other people – for a long time.) We try to avoid saying "hate," "stupid," "dumb," "idiot," "ugly," and my big three classroom no-no words and phrases, "gay," "retarded," and "shut up," among others – really, the words that are most likely used disparagingly. We don't always succeed (for instance, Sandra Boynton is prone to use "ugly," and Lucy in Peanuts uses the word "stupid," so you either have to say it or go with "silly" or something else on the spot), but we do our best. I told her then that I was proud of her for using her words and telling them how she felt about those words. So here, we had "fock." What to do? "You know how you told the other kids this week that they shouldn't say 'hate' and 'stupid'? That was really good, and I'm proud of you. There are lots of words like those, and some other words that just aren't nice to say. You have to decide for yourself if you're going to be the kind of person who uses them or not." And that was it. She hasn't said it again, and she didn't say anything else about it. We all like to test our limits, and we all have to figure out who we are – or whom we'd like to be. I'd like to think that "fock" disappeared because she has decided that she's not the kind of person who uses those kinds of words. At least for now. Categories Language, Preschoolers

M+M: Megan R. Luke with Spyros Papapetros, "Kurt Schwitters in the Age of 'Gestaltung'" N107, Princeton School of Architecture, 5:00pm Megan R. Luke (University of Southern California) with Spyros Papapetros (respondent, Princeton University) Kurt Schwitters in the Age of Gestaltung What was the Merzbau and where did it come from? How does an artist make the move from the delimited plane of painting, drawing, and the printed page to shape a habitable space? Throughout the 1920s, Kurt Schwitters collaborated with numerous artists and architects who were working to transform abstraction into construction – that is, to realize the dream of a universal language of form through the principle of Gestaltung, which could be applicable across all media. In the process he came to thoroughly reorient his practice and theory around the creation, dissemination, and eventual replication of what he called "a sculpture in space in which you can enter and go for a walk." This talk will consider how the Merzbau came to model new possibilities for architecture and its photographic inscription while simultaneously and perversely resisting both. Megan R. Luke is is Assistant Professor in the Department of Art History and a faculty affiliate of the Visual Studies Research Institute at the University of Southern California. She is a specialist in modern art, architecture, and art writing of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her research focuses on the advent of abstraction and collage, theories of spatial construction and perception, the history of photography and art reproduction, and the intersection of art and mass culture, particularly early cinema. She is the author of Kurt Schwitters: Space, Image, Exile (University of Chicago Press, 2014), which received an inaugural Meiss/Mellon Author's Book Award from the College Art Association. Spyros Papapetros is Associate Professor of Theory and Historiography in the School of Architecture, co-Director of the Program in Media and Modernity and member of the executive committee of the Program in European Cultural Studies at Princeton University. He is the author of On the Animation of the Inorganic: Art, Architecture, and the Extension of Life (The University of Chicago Press, 2012) and the co-editor (with Julian Rose) of Retracing the Expanded Field: Encounters between Art and Architecture (The MIT Press, 2014).

This is my last year in college and I have been trying to figure out what it is I want to be doing with my life. Going back to my days in high school, I had two best friends on my gymnastics team, Alex and Jordan. Alex quit gymnastics to start wrestling and Jordan and I didn't see him as often as we wanted to. One day before Jordan and I had practice, Alex invited us over to hang out. He told us he had this tea called **advertising removed by moderator** that he wanted us to try. When we got to his house we climbed up to his roof and he had laid out a bunch of beach chairs so we could chill out under the sun. He also had a weird looking cup and straw on a table in the middle of it all. This was the perfect set up for Alex because he is the more spiritual one of us all. He has never had very much in life, his family scrapes by one month at a time and he is the most genuinely happy person that I know. That is why when we asked what **advertising removed by moderator** was we knew we were in for a story. **advertising removed by moderator** is a traditionally drank in South America for it's health benefits. People stop working for a particular time of the day to share the straw and cup thing Alex had which is really called a gourd and bombilla. Inside this contraption is the **advertising removed by moderator** tea. In South America, people drink it over hot water and are meant to bring people together. When someone invites you to share some **advertising removed by moderator**, they are inviting you into their lives. This tea is meant to be revitalizing, and while you feel the balance of caffeine with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients you'll feel at your best. While you feel at your best, you open up and share more than just **advertising removed by moderator**, you begin sharing stories. This leads to friendships being made or growing stronger. That day Alex invited us up to his roof; he was inviting us back into his life. Alex loved the tradition of it all, on top of the healthy energy he got. However, he didn't pour hot water into the gourd, he poured cold lemonade. On a hot sunny day in California, it hit the spot. We began passing the gourd around and catching up. We laughed, we joked, and we felt like Alex had never left. That day we felt so alive and in the moment. We took a portion of our busy day to stop and enjoy the company of others over this tea. This is an aspect of life you don't get in the US. Everyone is always in a hurry in order to have a better future instead of appreciating the moment. That was a day that changed my life. Jordan and I had a great practice that day because we were full of energy and rejuvenated at the fact that we had a great day with Alex. Our tea parties quickly became a routine and Alex was back in our lives. From that day forward we knew this tea was special and that our friendship was to show of it. We introduced it to many others during the course of our high school career, and we always had the same effect. Friendship just came along with this tea. It became our mission when we all left for college that one day we could share this product with the world so everyone could be a friend. Now that we're almost done with college, we have started thinking about our futures. We all have continued to drink and share **advertising removed by moderator** with our teammates and friends, but we haven't yet shared it with the world. We realized that this would be the best time for us to start on that task we set out to do many years ago. With one year left in college, we began the company **advertising removed by moderator**. We realized that the US isn't as traditional as South America. Everyone is always in a hurry and speed sells. We wanted to keep our mission of sharing and bonding, but appeal to the US market. We decided to can our product. We want to sell our beverage in gas stations, grocery stores, convenience stores, so that it could be readily available for all. Our way of keeping the friendship and bonding was to give the message that when you drink a can of our **advertising removed by moderator**, you are sharing it with us. Whatever you are trying to accomplish, you will not be alone. Opening a can of **advertising removed by moderator**, you are joining a family of people that cares about you're well being and your stories. We want to hear about your life so we're creating on our website a part for you to share what makes you the person you are, while drinking **advertising removed by moderator**.

Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull's "innovation boom" has been a hot topic in Australian business this year, particularly following the government's National Innovation and Science Agenda (NISA), which committed $1.1 billion over four years. But despite the government backing, Australia remains well behind the world's innovation powerhouses and according to a recent report by PwC, the local economy is predicted to drop 10 places world rankings by 2050, putting us behind countries like Bangladesh, Egypt and Pakistan, and out of the G20. Australia's underinvestment in developing a knowledge-intensive economy is the main reason behind PwC's forecast, and that has affected innovation and especially the startup ecosystem, according to the 2016 StartupAUS Crossroads report, released today. While the report suggests that Turnbull's innovation agenda helps, further opportunity lies in stemming the flow of startups leaving Australia for other countries, as well as improving the chances of success for local startups. "StartupAUS welcomes the government's efforts to encourage greater industry-university collaboration. However, we also caution against succumbing to the view that science and scientific research are a necessary precursor to all innovation," the Crossroads report says. "NISA has a clear emphasis on the research sector, and in terms of dollars committed is much more heavily weighted towards science rather than entrepreneurship. The report also references to The 2015 Compass report, which concluded that while the startup ecosystem has grown in the past three years, that growth has been relatively slowly compared to global standards. The Compass analysis considers Sydney's startup ecosystem as a proxy for the Australian one. The Crossroads report makes 14 recommended actions that would have a "substantial impact on the development of the startup ecosystem in Australia". PwC says startups have the potential to contribute over $100 billion to Australia's GDP and create more than 500,000 new jobs by 2033, Crossroads notes. And while over the last five years Australia has seen strong growth in the rate of startup formation, if the ecosystem is to grow to a world-class level, the report says it is essential an environment conducive not just to the creation of successful technology companies, but also "to the retention of those companies for long enough that we can harness their economic impact" is developed. Here's a quick snapshot at Australia's startup scene as it currently exists. Read the full StartupAUS Crossroads report here.

I learned a new word today. This is not unusual for a translator. This is not unusual for anyone who reads, for that matter. The word, as arbitrary as any other, looks harmless on the face of it: metanoia (from the Greek μετάνοια deary, in case your education in this ancient tongue is as sketchy as mine and Shakepeare's both). My translation today gave me a simple definition, It said that metanoia means "changing one's mentality". The "meta" bit, I get. (Don't we all?) It was the "noia" part that got me, as I whizzed off to the village in my little car on a couple of minor chores when the main part of my day's work was done. It got me, because nowhere in that pretty little head of mine could I fix this word fragment to anything similar. Fine, I thought, I shall look it up properly when I get home. Now, why did I have to go and do that? It turns out that the theological world has been in a furore ever since the translation of the Bible commissioned by King James VI and I (one and the same guy, fyi) in 1604 and published in 1611. Despite the generous deadline by today's standards for these 783,137 English target words , it would appear that a crucial one was mistranslated according to several notable scholars. Yes, that's right. The mistranslated word was "metanoia". The short version, for those of you who start losing interest in a text longer than the 300-odd words here so far, is this: John the Baptist was not calling humankind to repent – as so many of us have been told – but to change mental attitudes. That, to me, represents a need to make a fundamental shift in focus in that part of my being devoted to matters biblical. If you are interested, you can read all about it in Wikipedia here. There was also an almighty hullaballoo with the Greek to Latin translation of this term. An ill-fated word, if you ask me. Might one call this a translation disaster of biblical proportions, I wonder? The –noia bit comes from the Greek word nous, meaning "mind" – but not mind, as in "mind your step", although of course minding one's step as one translates is probably sound advice if you want to avoid landing directly in the —. Stray thought: paranoia is another English word with a –noia bit. Before I go skittering off on another tangent, I think it is safe to say that the pillars supporting the arches pictured in my photo of the old pumphouse inaugurated in 1867 in Chatham-Medway (near Rochester, UK) are not Greek, but do serve to illustrate the concept of perspective.

Topic MSP business transformation Developing new services Adopting cloud services VAR-to-MSP transition Business of Tech View All Series Articles Ethical business in a world of distrust and big tech As trust of big tech continues to drop, companies should consider collaborating and investing in their vertical with other organizations rather than just trying to outperform them. Dave Sobel, Guest Contributor Dave Sobel is the host of the podcast "The Business of Tech" and co-host of the podcast "Killing IT." In addition, he wrote Virtualization: Defined. Sobel is regarded as a leading expert in the delivery of technology services, with broad experience in both technology and business. For this week's video, Sobel looks at how companies can conduct ethical business practices in a time where many are consumed with maximum profit and getting the best deal over ensuring both sides come out ahead. Transcript follows below Hey there. Thanks for joining me for this. This was originally intended to be a keynote presentation at the Channel Partners Expo and Conference in Las Vegas. But with that event being canceled, there's no reason we can't have this conversation, and you get that valuable information. So thank you for joining me for this session, "Making Ethics Pay in a World of Big Tech and Distrust." I'm Dave Sobel. I'm currently the host of a podcast called "The Business of Tech." It's a five-minute daily news and commentary podcast, and it draws on my career-long experience of delivering technology services. I'm a technologist by background with a degree in computer science. So, I've actually been a developer and an implementer. I founded a managed services provider here in the Washington, D.C., area, serving not-for-profit associations, healthcare organizations, delivering technology services. During that time, I got super involved with the community as a member of CompTIA, as well as helping to found peer groups in Europe to grow the idea of sharing information. I moved over to be a vendor channel chief for a couple of different vendors, first selling Level Platforms to AVG then helping with getting GFI becoming LOGICnow and selling that to SolarWinds. And now I'm positioning myself and looking at being an independent analyst. I'm here to provide insight and analysis for this space about what's coming and where I think the trends are. Trust in the age of constant data breaches What I want to talk about today is this problem of trust. Data is leaking everywhere, and it is rampant. Two of the examples I've been setting recently, what happened to Wawa in 2019. They had a breach in March, it wasn't discovered until December, a bunch of customer information around billing information, credit card information was all released. They had to disclose and let that information come out. And password sharing attacks like what's happening with Ring. It's kind of creepy because they've got hackers that are breaking in and then talking to children and trying to scare families and really leveraging it in a social engineering style attack. And there's a real level of degrading trust. NATO-linked researchers did some investigation to try and understand what was going on, on social media. And they bought some fake social media accounts and were looking at how quickly they might get shut down. The companies really didn't find them and never found out their activities. Of course, the Facebook involved with the Cambridge Analytica stuff, that's just dominating the way that we discuss. And another story I've been tracking on my podcast, what happens from the ransomware perspective. We could look at what's happening in the state of Louisiana. Local governments getting hit by numbers of different ransomwares at both the municipality level and local governments. And then it got so bad that at one point New Orleans, the entire city was under attack, had multiple agencies all infected at the same time. The city was forced to declare a State of Emergency to get those additional resources in. Let that settle in. New Orleans declared a state of emergency the exact same way that they handled Katrina. That was the same mechanism. So, you've got Katrina and you've got ransomware attacks leveraging the same emergency response techniques. That shows you the level of difficulty that we're dealing with out there. In fact, recently the Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin actually spoke to his fellow secretaries of state and specifically called out managed services providers as part of the problem and that they're not delivering enough security services and enough security insights. I had him on my show and we had a long discussion about the impact of these service providers and what he was looking at. And he said, bluntly, that if service providers are not providing all of the security options, it's malpractice. And so you can catch that extended episode. I'd encourage you to do that because it's really insightful from a background. But that gives you a sense of where we're at culturally. The Pew Research Center did a survey of the impact on society that tech companies have on the way things are going. And consistently that had been sort of 70% of the population was saying that was a positive influence, but between 2015 and 2019, that dropped 21 points in terms of trust. That's an aggressive drop. And by the way, let's put the cherry on top of this by saying, CIOs are concerned that IT is not providing enough of a competitive edge. So you've got this situation where all of our trust is falling out, the big tech companies are not helping with what's going on from a headlines perspective; we've got security issues running rampant. We're not in a great place from a trust perspective. I want to start by saying the blocking and tackling stuff, I'm not spending time here during this presentation, but I'm assuming you're getting your security house in order. Because seriously you're going to go out of business if you don't. If you're not delivering true levels of basic security beyond just backups and patch management and antivirus, you've got a bigger problem, but I'm not going to talk about that because the impact of that is pretty ugly and already covered. If you haven't caught the case, there's actually a lawsuit now where a customer who lost $1.7 million in a phishing scam is suing their managed services provider for the losses of $1.7 million. And, in fact, in the complaint, the customer is reflecting back the contract language. Boardman relied upon the representatives of Involta and accepted Involta's offer to let Boardman's IT staff focus on innovation and business-oriented tasks while Involta was to protect Boardman's bottom line with secure, highly available services hosted in Involta's enterprise-class facilities. This is pulled from their contract language and the lawsuit itself. Because the trusted advisor is dead. That model is not working. Customers are not looking for just advice. They want investment in business outcomes: 61% of channel partners are transforming their organizations to focus on delivering business outcomes, but customer expectations stand at 78% expecting that. So, you can't just be advising. Collaboration and investment over outperforming competitors Now, I promised some insight so let me give you some of that great insight into where we might go, and it's going to come from kind of an unusual place. I'm going to take us to explore Amish country. Now you go, "Dave, why are you taking us to Amish country?" Hear me out because I think they got the information we're going to learn is super interesting. Because, if you look, sociologist David Kraybill has done some investigation into Amish businesses and what he found was that after five years, 95% of them are still operating. And that number of success is way higher than general society. So, what can we learn from the Amish? What are the principles that drive this? And interestingly, there's three major factors that contribute to this success. The first is the idea of the way Amish look at competition. They don't view trade secrets and proprietary information in any of the same ways that we do. And an example of this is one farmer will teach his neighbor his farming techniques because he views them as collaborative to work together produce a better output. He knows that if the market's doing better in the engagement together, he's helping his competition but his competition's also going to help him, that it drives everybody forward. They don't have this idea of, "I must protect my secrets." Additionally, they have some very different views of finances. They're not absolute in the way that we are in general society about every single dollar or every single accounting measure. As an example, an Amish man was selling to another family within his community that he didn't know particularly well. And as it was getting close to the end of the deal they'd been communicating and the buyer was just a little bit short and wasn't quite there in terms of their ability to raise the financing. And so the seller said, "You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to leave $10,000 in the account. That way you can get finished set up, you can transfer the business, and you can just pay me back when you're ready." Again, let that sink in. Think about the way that we do business and the idea of someone just trusting and investing that way and collaborating on a financial level, that's just a really different way but it shows the way they are thinking long term about those deals and about joint success in a very different way than we necessarily do. And the final big factor is the way they view the market. They're not necessarily looking at everything as, "I must get the best price every single time." In fact, the Amish are found to invest more in their local community even if it's not necessarily the best price, because they understand the value of collaboration and investing in their own market. And again, these are really different. But when we think about the frame of ethics, there's actually some lessons we can take from that. When we think about competition, see what's happened from peer groups, the way people collaborate and actually share information really openly within our space and those businesses outperform because they do have this very different view of competition. How about the ones on financials, where they're actually finding ways to collaborate and not necessarily dealing with it in that same way? In fact, I would point to the way that when I did my sale was much that kind of way. We were very collaborative to make sure the deal worked for everybody because that was the end goal. And think about it from a market perspective, what if we invest in our communities and not necessarily always go for the best price or the most aggressive pricing or maximizing profit? What if we actually look at that? And it's timely. I'm recording this presentation right at a time where we're in something of a societal push and you see technology companies looking at the community and making leadership moves to invest that way. And it's having a positive effect in their perception. So, when you think about ethics, I want to actually make it concrete, because again, I'm giving you some specific ideas, but what about taking opportunity out there? Consider the Contract for the Web I want to point you to a resource called the Contract for the Web. Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of the internet, helped put this together. And it's a series of principles around the idea of building a better technology piece. And let's dive in just quickly on the "Companies" section. There are some basic principles, and I want to give you an example of this because it becomes quickly a consulting opportunity. Think about principle five, the idea of respecting and protecting people's privacy and personal data to build online trust. When you dive into this principle, it actually discusses all of the privacy policies and all of the way you can handle data and do that in an open and transparent way. And if you flip it just easily, it's all of the consulting things you need to do with your customers. It becomes very clear that it's a very strategic way of putting a framework on this discussion. So if you're looking for things that you can dive into, this contract for the web gives you a framework, not only for your own company, but to go out to your customers and help them do better. Because by leveraging this idea of doing better investing in ethics and pushing the industry forward that way, we can actually make a difference. Because, by the way, we're in that position where we need to. Trust is on the down and this gives us a way of moving forward.

Kuwait has always been heavily criticized for the treatment of migrant workers and the little attention media and the government give this serious issue. On the 9th of June, al-Qabas newspaper reported a statement taken by Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) of the Minister of justice and social affairs Mohammed Al-Afasy expressing his delight over the way Kuwait was recently evaluated by International Labor Organization for committing to the laws issued locally and applying the standards set out the organization. Al-Afasy also said that Kuwait opposes to two important points, one regarding specifying working hours for house maids and the other regarding respecting the maids' freedom to have off days outside their sponsors' houses. Al-Afasy says Kuwait and the GCC countries are "a special case" since the majority of maids are women and of course, he says, a maid going to a place unknown for her sponsor, does not suit the habits and traditions of Kuwait and its public ethics. Such arguments about preserving tradition and modesty of maids have been used throughout the region (not just in the GCC, for example in Lebanon as well) to restrict the domestic workers' freedom of movement, which is a basic human right.

You're at the U.S. Edition. Remember to visit our City Editions Choose edition: U.S - New York - Chicago - San Francisco True Swedish Education|Research Sweden Today Spotify's new offices Spotify moves into what may be Stockholm's hottest address, set to become a new hub for the Swedish capital's innovators and start ups. We reported in the fall that Spotify, the Swedish streaming music platform, signed a 17-year lease for an office of 380,000 square feet at 4 World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York, at a cost of SEK 275 million a year (about $32.5 million). The Spotify music service has also moved into a new 215,000-square-foot office space in Urban Escape in central Stockholm, according to the magazine Fastighetsvärlden. Urban Escape Stockholm is on Regeringsgatan, close to Stockholm's main shopping street and NK department store. It uses five buildings built along four streets with two public squares and a unique 37,135-square-foot rooftop garden of public space connecting three buildings. The complex houses retail and offices along with hotels, a conference facility and epicenter — positioned to become the innovation hub for Stockholm's booming tech community. Looking for a similar address in Stockholm? See www.urbanescape.se for more info. Spotify announced at the end of July that it has 60 million paying subscribers and over 140 million active users. The numbers meant the Swedish company was up 10 million subscribers since March, when it last announced it had 50 million. Since 2016, Spotify's user base has grown exponentially faster than that of its nearest competitor, Apple Music, which had around 27 million subscribers as of June 2017. Could this mean the streaming service is finally on its way to profits? In spite of an upcoming likely public listing few things point to that. In 2016, losses increased by 133 percent over the previous year to SEK5.3 billion (approximately $650 million).

You are able to invest in sinks which sit in addition to a vanity, much like a bowl would. A pedestal sink is such that it has pillar like base. In selecting the bathroom of yours sink, it will generally depend on a few elements, as you could be looking for something to renovate your bathroom or perhaps you might only be looking for something that's trustworthy also very durable. Personally, I love having counter space in the bathroom to spread out the makeup of mine, hair, and skin care products. Pedestal sinks are usually the cheapest option since they're easier to set up. When it's time to decorate and / or remodel a bathroom, selecting the perfect sink can be tough.

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Three people were shot dead and five others were injured, on Monday, after a gunman opened heavy fire in a tram, in Utrecht City, in the Netherlands. According to local police, the gunman fled the scene and a wide-scale manhunt is being conducted across the Utrecht province. Sources also reported that heavily armed police are gathered in front of a house, near the 24 Oktoberplein Junction, where the shooting attack was carried out, with reports that the police are preparing to launch a raid. In addition, all mosques in Utrecht were evacuated and security was increased at mosques across the Netherlands. The Utrecht University was also ordered to lockdown all buildings and trains are not allowed to run through Utrecht Central station. The Utrecht police have arrested a 37-year-old Turkish-born suspect, identified as Gokmen Tanis. The Dutch Justice Minister, Ferd Grapperhaus, said the suspect had a criminal record and that it was too early to say whether he had a terror motive. Tensions are high following a recent terror attack in New Zealand, in which the Australian gunman shot and killed over 50 people, including six Palestinians, in two mosques in Christchurch City.

Just look at the array of fine thespians they've sent over to Hollyood. You wouldn't get a list like this from Hollyoaks… Naomi Watts – Julie Gibson (Home and Away, 1997) Naomi Watts had something of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in Home and Away. We blinked. We missed it. But, in our defence, it was 1997, which means that we were probably miming along to No Woman No Cry, and inhailing drugs from a plastic bottle of Pepsi. Great times. Since then, she's gone on to hardcore triple-X lesbian kissing and boob touching in Mulholland Drive, and iconic massive gorilla romance in King Kong. We've all just got jobs. Damn Thatcher. Russell Crowe – Kenny Larkin (Neighbours, 1987) Whether Russell Crowe took the same brooding intensity onto the Neighbours set, no one knows. But what is known is that he could have made a wonderful Lou Carpenter given half a chance. As things panned out, Neighbours missed a trick, and he went on to growl his way through Gladiator, pretend to be brain damaged in A Beautiful Mind, and play an Irish-Bristolian Indian-Jamaican man to a tee in Robin Hood. Guy Pearce – Mike Young (Neighbours 1986-1989), David Croft (Home and Away, 1991-1992) Whilst our best love soap actors might take to the stage, or entertain old people in a trundling Sunday evening drama set during the second world war, Guy Pearce – once the Ramsey Street heart throb who got to dance his delicate fingers all over Plain Jane the Superbrain – has gone on to dizzy heights in THE MOVIES. We like him best as the nerdy do-gooder in LA Confidential, or the weirdo in Momento – a film which tells a story from end to beginning. That's the wrong way round! Melissa George – Angel Parrish (Home and Away, 1993-1996) An edgy rebellious character in Home and Away, Angel was the antipodean equivalent of Bianca in Eastenders. Only, whilst Patsy Palmer (real name – Bianca from Eastenders) has gone a full circle, and ended up right back in the middle of Albert Square, getting typically livid with Ricky, Melissa has cut a rather impressive figure on a string of well known US TV shows – notably Friends, Alias, something called Charmed. And now you can catch her in the strongly-recommended HBO show In Treatment, which features Angel from Home and Away playing a disturbed young woman who looks totally like she smells. Much like Bianca from Eastenders in that sense. Ryan Kwanten – Vinnie Patterson (Home and Away, 1997-2004) Ryan spent the best part of seven years getting right up Alf's nose, playing the part of a twat in Home and Away. And now, he's carving out a niche as a twat on the other side of the pond in True Blood – the story of vampires having sex with someone who was in The Piano. Everyone swears a lot, and Ryan spends much of the show glistening in a sheen of intercourse sweat on top of whichever actress has drawn the short/long straw. He has also been in a film with Ja Rule. That's always a sign that you've arrived. Isla Fisher – Shannon Reed (Home and Away, 1994-1997) She didn't have the greatest post-soap start, Isla Fisher – Darren Day, Summer Holiday, Darren Day's tongue inside her actual mouth. Thankfully, she's turned things around, and is now one half of a beautiful relationship with Sacha Baron Cohen, whilst making something of a name for herself in movies like Wedding Crashers, Wedding Daze, and anything else with Wedding in the title. Baron Cohen took the hint. They're now married. Jesse Spencer – Billy Kennedy (Neighbours, 1994-2000) For those who don't remember Billy, he was Karl and Susan Kennedy's little angel, wedged somewhere on the Family Tree beneath the girl with the teeth like tombstones, and the boy with a bob cut. Billy can be found swapping American impressions with Hugh Laurie, in the popular hospital show, House. He plays a doctor, which seems hilarious because his dad was a doctor in Neighbours. Okay, perhaps not hilarious… Holly Valance – Felicity Scully (Neighbours, 1999-2002) You might think that Kylie is a big deal, but has she been in CSI: Miami? No she hasn't. Has she been in CSI: NY? No she hasn't. Has she been in Prison Break? No she hasn't. Has she been in Entourage? No she hasn't. Has she been in a film called Taken, also starring Liam Neeson, who was in Schindler's List? No she hasn't. Has she released a song called Kiss Kiss that was a little bit Turkish or something? No she hasn't. Is she the woman in the picture above? No she isn't.

Alan Dale – Jim Robinson (Neighbours, 1985-1993) Alan Dale left Australia after playing Jim Robinson, because he was scared of becoming typecast.

Christian Hopkins, 26, of Ashaway, and his cousins Macheece Spears Jr., 26, and Ridge Spears, 20, both of Charlestown, departed from Rhode Island on Nov. 13, towing saplings and other traditional materials to build a longhouse, or "we-tu," for the children of the Water Protectors. The three local men's plan was to construct the school shelter and return on Tuesday or today. With the controversy of building the pipeline, few people think about the protesters' children, who are away from home but need to attend school. But Hopkins identified the problem when he visited the reservation in September. Cassius Spears, who is Macheece and Ridge Spears' uncle and a cousin of Hopkins, taught the three young men how to build a we-tu using traditional techniques. "We harvest the saplings and we take the bark off and we pull long strips off from the base to the tip, and we roll them into a bundle, and in the process it eliminates the sap and they'll be used for lashing the poles together," said Cassius Spears. "When we set them into the ground and bend them over, the process is kind of like making an upside-down basket, and then we cover that with bark or cattail mats. Hopkins and the Spears could not be reached early this week to confirm that they have finished building the we-tu. Responses to "Tribal members building a school for the children at the water protector camp" Bless you and the schooling of the Native youngsters. I am a retired elementary teacher living in California about 30 miles south of San Francisco. I have been following your struggle to keep your land sacred and your water safe. I pray to the God of our entire human family everyday. My prayer is that you are successful and that you are safe while bringing about justice!

A number of regional human rights organisations have hit out at land confiscation in Burma by companies and individuals with links to the government. The Asian Human Rights Commission has slammed a "frenzy" of land grabs in Burma by the government or government-linked companies, stating that abuses of power continue in spite of the country's much heralded reforms. AHRC, which has been monitoring and lobbying for human rights in Aisa for more than 20 years, said that reports of land confiscation continue to escalate. AHRC cited several examples, including a case in which five farmers were accused of upsetting public tranquility over holding a public demonstration after the loss of more than one thousand acres of farmland in 1997, which was taken by the Burma Army. The farmers, from Thegon Township, held the public protest in Febuary after having sent more than 60 letters of complaint to 25 government departments with any "satisfactory response," AHRC stated. Four of the men were charged under Burma's draconian Section 18 of the Peace Assembly and Demonstration Law for protesting without official permission, AHRC maintained that during the course of their arrest police assaulted a number of the demonstrators leading to two women being hospitalised. The farmers again launched a protest on April 23, this time burning coffin effigies of the military associates responsible for taking their land. The five were then arrested and charged under section 505(b) of the Penal Code, for "allegedly upsetting the public tranquility" by burning coffin effigies, AHRC said. AHRC also criticized prominent pro-democracy politician Aung San Suu Kyi for heading the rule of law committee, describing the body and other agencies tasked with monitoring corruption and land grabs as "hollow, meaningless and pathetic," in the face of mounting reports of land grabs. A report released by Karen Human Rights Group this month also noted growing reports of land grabs in South Eastern Burma following the signing of a ceasefire between the Karen National Union and the Burma Army in 2011. "Since the ceasefire, villagers have begun to report increasingly about land confiscation for mining, logging, dams, infrastructure development and commercial agriculture. Land is confiscated by armed actors or the Myanmar government in collaboration with companies for those projects." KHRG said.

I've been lucky enough to travel to so many amazing and beautiful places for competitions but I still dream of seeing more places. I've had amazing experiences all over the world and it's hard to pick a favourite. I really loved Auckland, New Zealand. It's near the ocean, has tons of huge trees and beautiful places to explore and eat. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Closer to home, Whistler is another favourite – especially for fellow boarders! Nothing beats that fresh mountain air and the amazing tracks. I'm a lucky guy, I get to travel with my girlfriend a lot (she's mint with the camera), but I'd love for her to be able to travel with me all year. We're currently figuring out a way to plan a trip to Africa. It's a place I've wanted to visit since I was a kid, so hopefully one day I can cross it off my list.

Q: Does not exist in current context c# In my win forms app I have a listbox and a textbox the app gets email from a server and displays the subject etc in the listbox and when I click the listbox the body is shown in the textbox. The problem is I have to repeat the entire code below in the selected index changed event to get it to work otherwise I get "does not exists in current context" error this slows down the app. // Create an object, connect to the IMAP server, login, // and select a mailbox. Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap(); imap.UnlockComponent(""); imap.Port = 993; imap.Ssl = true; imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com"); imap.Login("user@email.com", "pass"); imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox"); // Get a message set containing all the message IDs // in the selected mailbox.

A: It seems that you have to redesign your code so that the object you are interested in is available in the context that needs it. One solution might be: class Form1 { ... // You need to have the bundle available in your event handler, so it should be // a field (or property) on the form: Chilkat.EmailBundle bundle; // Call this e.g. on start up and possibly when a // refresh button is clicked: protected void RefreshMailBox() { Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap(); imap.UnlockComponent(""); imap.Port = 993; imap.Ssl = true; imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com"); imap.Login("user@email.com", "pass"); imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox"); Chilkat.MessageSet msgSet = imap.Search("ALL", true); bundle = imap.FetchBundle(msgSet); } protected void YourEventHandler() { if (listView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0) { // bundle is now accessible in your event handler: richTextBox1.Text = bundle.GetEmail((int)listView1.SelectedItems[0].Tag).Body; } } ... } A: Check the project properties and make sure both project are targeting the same framework. usually this happens when one if pointing to .Net Framework 4 and another to .Net Framework 4 Client Profile Thanks, Sebastian

Pundit backs summer transfer plan led by dream link-up to inspire Man Utd trophy haul Gabriel Agbonlahor says that Manchester United could win the Premier League and Champions League by addressing three areas of their squad this summer. The Red Devils will end the season at an important crossroads, regardless of their Europa League outcome. They will likely finish second in the Premier League and could clinch European glory for the first time since 2017. However, reaching the final would still present an important reflection opportunity. Indeed, much of that reflection will centre around how to take the next step in their progression. This summer will prove pivotal if United are to do better in the Champions League and challenge Manchester City for the title. As such, pundits have linked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side with additions throughout the team. However, as pointed out by Agbonlahor, centre-back, striker and winger could be the club's biggest priorities. Tottenham's Harry Kane is one player whose uncertain future will dominate the transfer window. Out wide, meanwhile, the Red Devils are still reportedly keen on Jadon Sancho and Agbonlahor wants United to go for both, as well as a new defender. Asked about Kane, the pundit told talkSPORT: "I think he's worth more [than £90m]. "I think with what he can bring to that Manchester United team, you're not going to get Harry Kane for £90m from [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy. "It's going to be over £100m, £110m. Just because of how good a player he is. He's a natural finisher at the peak of his career. I just can't see it happening for £90m." Agbonlahor added: "I think he could win everything [at United]. Manchester United probably need another right winger, a striker and a centre-half. "If they could get Harry Kane, maybe Sancho and a world-class centre-half, there is no reason why they can't win the Premier League, win the Champions League." Man Utd dream link-up backed Agbonlahor added that bringing Kane to Old Trafford would open up a whole host of exciting link-ups going forward. "If I was Harry Kane, I'd be pushing for a move because he doesn't want to finish his career as the top scorer in the Premier League without a title or trophy," the pundit said. "Nowadays, agents will speak to players. Harry Kane's agent will say, 'you need to come out and say you want to leave'. They might even force his hand. "There is that fear [that the move won't work out], but when you're a natural finisher like Harry Kane… [Paul] Pogba, [Bruno] Fernandes, [Marcus] Rashford putting chances on a plate for Harry Kane – he'll finish them. "He could play anywhere and score goals."

Choir of men sing an American hymn and the Internet is obsessed When was the last time you stopped to think about the words of 'Battle Hymn Of The Republic?' This acapella version gives us a chance to do so. It's unusual to hear 'The Battle Hymn of The Republic' without a band full of instruments. This group manages just fine with their voices and their sense of rhythm. The group is Anthem Lights, a Christian music group hailing from Nashville, TN. It was originally a solo project for vocalist Chad Graham. There's obviously been some growth since then. It's easier to hear the lyrics and think about them in such an "unplugged" performance of the song. The Battle Hymn was anything but serious in its beginning. Union soldiers came up with a tune to rib a certain Scottish soldier among them, John Brown. The melody and memorable lyrics made the song stick. It would be a while before the song would gain lyrics that were just as powerful as the melody. Share with your friends because sharing is caring.

This is how, ",inspired, Satrapi created a book of black-and-white comic strips about living in Tehran from ages six to 14,", (www.noteablebiographies.com) and then wrote a second volume chronicling her events in Austria from 14 up until her return to Iran at age 18, ending with her college years at 25.Since Persepolis was originally written in French, it ",was published in France in two volumes in 2000 and 2001,", and eventually ",appeared in the United States in 2003 and 2004.", (www.noteablebiographies.com) In 2007, The Complete Persepolis was published in a single volume, combining Persepolis 1: The Story of a Childhood and Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return. The books can either be purchased as single volumes or as 'one' volume combining both stories.MEET THE AUTHORA current San Francisco Bay Area resident, Natacha Pavlov has been an avid reader and writer since her early years spent growing up in Brussels, Belgium.

Ever ready to stand up for what was right, Marjane is always pleading to join her parents in political demonstrations, which they refuse due to her young age. However, we find that Satrapi can also have a rebellious side, as proven in the incident in which she has her maid Mehri accompany her to a demonstration on the worst day they could've gone: Black Friday.Indeed, Marjane's mother slaps them both when they return home, as this was the day when so many people had died in one neighborhood that a rumor spread that it was Israeli soldiers who had attacked them, when indeed it had been their own who attacked. (Persepolis 1, pg. 38-39) Things start to look up when the Shah finally leaves his post, overthrown by the 1979 Islamic Revolution, leading the whole country to rejoice.

Discussion in 'Technology' started by Mike1892sJr, Oct 25, 2010. I just downloaded the dynomaster app for my tmobile mytouch, and i was wondering if anyones heard of it or used it before? it seems pretty legit and cost 5 bucks but i was just wondering if anyone knew how accurate it was or if anyone had even heard of it before. thanks. Ive used similar inertia based apps in smart phones, and they are not as accurate as a dyno. Seems the ones in the Apple Iphone are more consistant. Hoyal Whiskey bent and hell bound. Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's. I had the dynolisicious for the iphone and had it in my wrx when I ran the 1/4 mile and it was very close. It dosent help with reaction time because it uses the phones accelerometer so it starts when you start. for this app you can either use the accelerometer or manually start it which still isnt 100% but i trust pressin the button over my accelerometer. so the numbers were decently close? I got the my touch slide for t mobile. what all does that app do? removed front mud flaps, weather-tech floor mats, viper keyless entry. Next is 5100s!!

See How Glibly Claudius Glosses Over! I color-coordinated my annotation of the very first speech the new king Claudius delivers. Why don't you assay to delineate how Claudius presents his argument? Please focus on the logical organization and literary devices he employs in the speech. Ok, so in our modern language you would call this sugarcoating. King Claudius tries to make it sound nice that he is marrying his brother's wife and he is also trying to get people to cheer for their wedding even though it has only been mere months from old Hamlet's death. He uses oxymorons. antithesis and many other literary devices to achieve this. Also, his "royal" standing now makes his word more believable to the public, it adds more credibility to his words. He also is able to achieve convincing the public to be happy about his announcement by adding the word "dear" and basically adding that he cares about his brother and making it sound like it's the right thing to move on and already accept him as a new king. An analogy is used between Hamlet and his Uncle (King Claudius) because he tries to connect with Hamlet through his fathers death. He uses his fathers death to get him and Hamlet to bond because Hamlets not very fond of him. Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter and the kings speech is in blankverse which signifies that the person is educated (poetry) because it is written in verse. Claudius also uses the speach to rally the people because the whole kingdom is grieving and tries to make himself noble but really isn't which is the irony of his speech. I think Holden would hate this guy, he sure is a phony. Claudius begins his speech by using pathos in order to gain sympathy and be on the same grounds as those people who are grieving; he tries to relate to the citizens of Denmark in order to gain there approval. He then goes on to say that it is not only him who is marrying the queen, but the people of Denmark are as well. He is very clever, but not clever enough because Hamlet is onto him. There is, "Something rotten in the state of Denmark." Laugh out loud, I have to agree with that one.  King Claudius now has the social standing and authority to imply the pathos literally element to make the people agree with the wedding. Even though the whole thing is all of a sudden and a little fishy. He can now use his image to give the people a sense of relief or calmness. In the blank verse, Claudius delivers his speech with an introduction that tells the citizens to grieve for the fallen king. "Yet" begins his argument which he declares that the King's death is nature's doing. "Therefore" concluding his speech that the citizens should rejoice for the new marriage between the queen and him. I agree with you that the Claudius presents himself as being sad for the kings passing but continues the speech with antithesis, which makes it noticeable that he is dismissing the sorrow he says he feels for his brothers passing. Here Claudius is being a two face, he talks good things about the king by saying that the king will always be in our hearts even do Cladius was the one who kill the king.

A study, cited by Entrepreneur® contributor Andre Lavoie, says close to half of all professionals believe work friendships make a happier workplace. Gallup® backs this finding with its discovery that close work friendships can actually boost employee satisfaction by 50 percent.Seeing as we spend the majority of our waking hours at the office, it only makes sense that work and friendship go hand in hand. But, in some cases, workplace friendships can become toxic, creating an environment that feels more like a high school than a professional office. Keep your workplace in the drama-free zone and ensure healthy relationships with these simple tips. Avoid negative cliques: An organizational culture that tolerates exclusionary cliques is at risk for distrust and even fighting among team members—both of which can end up driving away a company's best employees. After all, who wants to work where they feel disconnected, left out and anonymous?Help break cliques and promote inclusive, team-centric behaviour by assembling cross-functional teams. Reassign employees who normally work together into teams, or consider pairing newbies with veteran staff. Such teamwork can work wonders by tackling projects or problems from multiple perspectives while promoting inclusivity. Promote trust and camaraderie: While avoiding workplace friendships can help keep the drama metre low, a workplace culture lacking camaraderie can cause trust levels to plummet. Without trust, employees may become defensive, hide mistakes and abstain from sharing knowledge. Promote trust and teamwork with regular team-building activities—game nights, scavenger hunts and mini-golf are great ideas. Get teams excited to participate and promote healthy competition with rewards for winning teams. A logo'd 7-in-1 game set, Rubik's® key tag or Golf Cooler Bag makes a fun prize. Separate friendship and workmanship: Remember, you're at work to work, and therefore must be able to separate your duties from your friendships. Be sure workloads are shared evenly, people remain accessible and special treatment is given to no one. If you're in a management role, ensure your expectations are the same for all—that means deadlines, quality of work, punctuality and more. Those who don't perform should be subject to disciplinary action—friends or not. The same holds true for praising a job well done or acknowledging special events. Avoid favouritism by giving everyone the same rewards or recognition for similar circumstances. Perhaps a plaque for meeting sales goals or a logo'd coffee tumbler and doughnuts for birthday celebrations. Workplace friendships are inevitable and, in fact, good for the soul. Keep yours in check by following the above tips. Your coworkers are sure to thank you. Lavoie, Andre. "How Office Friendships Could Affect Your Bottom Line." Entrepreneur. N.p., 14 Oct. 2014. Web.

Q: Will $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] detect a site as a referer if it is using a redirect? In PHP I see that $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] gives me the refering url if the refering page had a link that was clicked through to my current page. But what if page A has a htaccess redirect that sends the user to page B. If I have the above snippet on Page B will I get Page A as the referer? Or does it only work if a user clicks on a link that takes them to page B? A: To begin with: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted. To answer your question: Page A will be sent if it is silent rewrite (temporary redirect). Page B will be sent if it is a redirect that sends a 301 (permanent redirect). A: If by redirecting you mean rewriting, then as far as the client is concerned, the URL requested is what was returned, and that will be the referrer.

Manual home Practice kits Child sexual abuse Overview of child sexual abuse Child sexual abuse Notes about language Language shapes the way we perceive risk and undertake our work with children and families (including the person who has or is sexually abusing a child). Throughout this kit, language which honours the experiences of children and families is used and holds the alleged abuser accountable for their abuse, while recognising this person as part of the family system we are working with. Terms that are most likely to be understood by the children, families and communities that practitioners work with have also been used. Key terms used throughout the practice kit are explained in this section. The possibility that children have been sexually abused brings up strong feelings for most people. The kit deliberately uses common language that explicitly and graphically names difficult topics such as types of child sexual abuse, body parts and sexual activity. This should also occur in every day practice. Jargon and bureaucratic language can distance practitioners from the distress of the child's experience of abuse. Practitioners may find it helpful to practise having difficult conversations using words that feel uncomfortable with colleagues before these discussions occur with children and families. Child sexual abuse occurs when an adult, or a more powerful child or adolescent (including a sibling) involves a child in sexual activity. This may involve physical contact between the abuser and child, or no physical contact between the abuser and the child. Sexual abuse can cause emotional and physical harm and have a range of negative consequences in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The intended use of power and control, secrecy, and the distortion of adult-child and child-child relationships to coerce the child into sexual compliance are key factors in the sexual abuse of children. Behaviours that are sexually abusive to a child include: sexually suggestive, obscene comments made in person, by telephone, or through social media to a child speaking to a child about graphic sexual matters using online platforms to send messages with obscene or sexual content or images to a child (this can include 'sexting', chat rooms and live stream videos) persistent, unwanted intrusion of a child's personal space that increases the child's vulnerability to sexual abuse showing pornographic material including films, magazines, photographs or internet websites and smart phones to a child using the internet or social media technologies to lure a child for sexual purposes forcing a child to watch a sexual act covertly or overtly watching, taking photographs or electronically recording a child in bathrooms, bedrooms or toilets, or in various states of undress being inappropriately nude, partially nude, disrobing in front of a child, 'flashing' or exposing a sexual body part to a child engaging in a sexual act in the presence of a child kissing or holding a child in a sexual manner fondling a child's body in a sexual manner or asking the child to fondle another person's body engaging a child in acts of child prostitution masturbating while a child observes, observing a child masturbate, engaging in mutual masturbation with a child including child masturbating another child/person clothed or unclothed dry intercourse (a person rubbing their genitals against the child's genital and/or anal areas) fellatio (oral to genital contact for males) cunnilingus (oral to genital contact for females) penile or digital penetration or using an object to penetrate the vagina or anus. (Faller, 2003; Sanderson, 2004). Child sexual exploitation Sexual exploitation involves situations, contexts and relationships where children (or a third person or persons) often receive something as a result of performing or others performing on them, sexual activities. For example, food, accommodation, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, affection, gifts or money. Sexual exploitation can also occur through the use of online platforms without the child noticing. For example, they may be persuaded to post or send sexual images on the internet or by mobile phone with no immediate payment or gain. In all cases those exploiting the child have power over them by virtue of their age, gender, intellect, physical strength or economic or other resources. 'Grooming' is often used to describe behaviour by the alleged abuser towards the child. This behaviour is focused on increasing opportunities for sexual abuse to occur and reducing the child's ability to tell others what is happening through manipulation and coercion (Tanner and Brake, 2013). In this kit, the definition has been extended to include the deliberate manipulation of the child's family and community (including the professionals involved). Recently, practitioners and researchers have highlighted challenges with the use of the term because it can be difficult to tell the difference between 'grooming' and appropriate nurturing activities in relation to a child. The term is then often applied in hindsight (once it is known or reasonably believed a child has been sexually abused by that person). This means that the term has limited ability to assist child protection workers in casework with a child and their family. As such, this kit refers to 'manipulation and coercion' when describing behaviours used by abusers or offenders which allow child sexual abuse to take place and silence victims. In 2021, grooming was added to the Queensland Criminal Code Act 1899, section 218B 'Grooming child under 16 years or parent or carer of child under 16 years'. Child protection workers should describe the behaviours of the alleged abuser rather than use the term 'grooming' in child protection assessments, due to the possible legal implications. Children who display harmful sexual behaviours In order to provide support in relation to a child's sexual behaviours, it is important to recognise and describe concerns about sexual behaviours that are inconsistent with age appropriate sexual behaviours. The following terminology has been adopted within Child Safety to identify these behaviours: Harmful sexual behaviours is an umbrella term to describe problem sexual behaviours, sexually abusive behaviours and all sexual behaviours of children that could include high risk sexual behaviours that are not harmful to anyone else. Harmful sexual behaviours are developmentally inappropriate and can be displayed in person or online. Problem sexual behaviours describes concerning sexual behaviours of children under the age of criminal responsibility (10 years). Where a child under 10 years displays harmful sexual behaviours are abusive in nature, their behaviour is described as problem sexual behaviours which are abusive in nature. Sexually abusive behaviours occur when a child, aged 10 years and over, displays sexual behaviours towards a person with less power. A child displaying sexually abusive behaviour can be charged with a criminal offence. Alleged abuser The terminology used has been standardised to 'alleged abuser'. When referring to the alleged abuser, use the specific term to describe the person responsible. Within the child protection system, persons who are alleged to have sexually abused a child should be referred to as an 'alleged child sexual abuser'. Persons who have been found responsible for sexual abuse as a result of an investigation and assessment by Child Safety can be referred to as a 'child sexual abuser'. People who have been charged with a sexual offence can be referred to as an 'alleged sexual offender'. If a person is then convicted of the sexual offence, they can be referred to as a 'sexual offender'. The term 'paedophile' should only be used for persons who have been clinically diagnosed as a paedophile. Paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder, usually only assigned to adults, in which the fantasy or actual act of engaging in sexual activity with a child (boys, girls or both) usually of pre-pubertal or early pubertal age (generally less than 13 years), is the preferred or exclusive means of achieving sexual excitement orgratification (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR)). Developmentally appropriate sexual behaviour Developmentally appropriate sexual behaviour is an umbrella term used to describe behaviours that are developmentally appropriate and consistent with the child or young person's physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. Developmentally appropriate behaviours do not harm and we do not need to redirect.

Anthony Maltese, 86, bested scores of growers to earn Newsday's 2018 Tomato King title. What do you get when you mix high-quality, fortified potting mix, horse manure and 50 years of experience? A 3-pound, 8.5-ounce bull's heart tomato and the satisfaction of a winner well-grown! Anthony Maltese of North Massapequa knows this firsthand: The seeds he brought back from Sorrento, Italy, a decade ago — and has been saving from year to year — yielded the biggest tomato and earned the top prize at the Great Long Island Tomato Challenge, held on Aug. 30. More than 150 hopeful readers descended upon Newsday headquarters, vying for top honors in the 12th annual competition. There were newcomer Benjamin Alcine, 14, who watered his entry every day as it grew in his New Hyde Park backyard; Grace Bennett, a retired nurse from Rockville Centre who collects seaweed from the ocean and crushes shells picked up at the beach, then composts them with fish heads to create a proprietary marine soil dressing; and Jeri Ferrante of West Islip, whose strategy for growing an ugly tomato is to insult her plant daily from seed to harvest. The youngest entrant was merely 8 months old. While we're sure little Alby Cerrone had some help, we're excited to see what the infant's future holds. After all, Wyatt DePace, 4, of Albertson, already has two Tomato Challenges under his belt, and Farmingville siblings Alayna and Evan Gottesman, ages 9 and 13 respectively, have been attending since 2013. This year, Alayna took first place in the Ages 7-12 category for her 14.1-ounce "Traveler's" tomato. Her secret? "I sprinkled glitter on it!" James Julian Dunn of Northport, age 4 ½, won among the 6-and-under set for his 2-pound, 1-ounce Sicilian saucer, which the preschooler grew from seed. And Frankie Rasizzi of Northport, 15, reigned in the Ages 13-17 category with his 2-pound, 3.5-ounce tomato of an unknown variety. Corinn Kraemer, a 19-year-old Suffolk County Community College student from Bohemia who has been attending since she was in middle school, won in the Smallest Tomato category for the third time. Her minuscule ripe-red fruit measured just 12 points on the pica scale, which is smaller than a pencil eraser. As far as strategy goes, our new Tomato King is onto something. Maltese, 86, removed all flowers on one of his plants except for the biggest one, which he surmised — correctly — would produce the biggest tomato. With only one fruit to mature, the plant was able to direct all its energy into that one tomato, and boy did it! The retired cabinet maker, who lives with his wife, Lea, started aiming for large tomatoes after reading about the Challenge three years ago. The third time was a charm for Maltese, who was cheered on by a team of grandchildren, who planned to celebrate by eating the winner over Labor Day weekend — in pasta sauce.

Inez Milholland who is also referred to as "the woman on the horse," did not want to go to cross country speaking tour because she knew she was ill and feared that she could not make it. She was able to change her mind after encouragement by Paul. She decided to risk her life and not allow her infirmity keep her from protesting how her stance on women's rights. She however dies after collapsing when she was speaking. This is peculiar to the women of Iron Jawed Angels that set them apart from the women of their times. Women stated many reasons for acceptance, from brainwashed Attitudes of their inferiority, that is engendered weakness, to fears that they would become dispossessed and alone. Men often spouted the opinion that they only wished to protect their wives and mothers from the evils of this world, saying that they were innately weak and subject to fall prey to sinful ways if they were exposed to the evils of the world. They often cited the story of Genesis as proof of this. Women were often punished for dissent. Some punishments were extreme, such as hanging in some cases in earlier times by religious sects who did not allow dissention, especially by women, who could be executed as witches. A case in point was the execution of Mary Barrett Dyer by the Quakers for disagreeing with the tenets of the church. (Wikipedia 2005). Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. 196?.

A woman, for example, who has suffered through a number of miscarriages of wanted pregnancies may find herself for various reasons unable or unwilling to carry a pregnancy to term. In such a case, having an abortion may be the right choice for that woman but may still be very painful. Hooks, B. (2000). Feminist theory: From margin to center (2nd ed.).

The Woman On The Beach THE WOMAN ON THE BEACH —-Renoir noir, as director Jean Renoir finishes up his WW2 exile in America with the last of the five features he made in Hollywood before returning to France. An unusual picture that's slippery to classify, it benefits from an unsettling mood and strong leads, but it's the least successful of the director's US quintet, a casualty of studio interference in the cutting and a less-certain grip on the material than the director showed with gems Swamp Water, This Land Is Mine and The Southerner. * Things kick off to a nifty start with a cool scene depicting Robert Ryan in the throes of a wild nightmare, a fevered partly-animated montage of a mine-stricken ship going down in a whirlpool, sinking into the depths, with Ryan float-striding across the ocean floor, over skeletons and debris, toward a hot dame in a flowing gown. A kiss turns into an explosion, and… away we go. Coast Guard officer 'Scott Burnett' (Ryan), plagued by PTSD ("shell-shock" in the old days) is supposed to marry local girl 'Eve' (Nan Leslie), but after he comes across provocative dame 'Peggy Butler' (Joan Bennett) during one of his horseback canters on the beach, he gets drawn into the twisted relationship she has with husband 'Tod' (Charles Bickford), a renowned artist who has lost his sight. That's because Peggy blinded him, discovered in due course by the quickly & easily seduced Scott who tries to figure out exactly how f'd- up the Butler's are. The answer is 'quite a bit': be careful of blithely insinuating brunettes lounging around beached shipwrecks. Ditto their passive-aggressive husbands. Tod comforts his, um..yearning…younger wife: "Peggy, did it ever occur to you that to me you'll always be young and beautiful? No matter how old you grow – I'll always remember you as you were the last day I saw you – young, beautiful, bright, exciting. No one who can see can say that to you. – – Peg, you're so beautiful… so beautiful outside, so rotten inside." She takes it like a bad kitty and comes back with simple shrug, "You're no angel." Later, when Scott tasks her, she lets the big ox in that "Oh, for heaven's sake, Scott, what of it? You're not my husband." Taken aback, he can only give out "Peggy, you're nothing but a…", to which she bakes his sap-potato with "Go on. Say it – I'm a tramp. You're just finding that out?" Q: how come this doesn't happen at the grocery store? Or am I just going to the wrong one? Probably… The cat & mouse interplay between the three leads is really good (Bickford especially impressive), and for the most part the overheated melodrama holds. Cutting into acceptance are poorly done rear-projection shots on a rowboat in the ocean (the wave action doesn't match up, for one thing), and the climax has a tinkertoy look to the sets; the fire stuff is pretty weak, like a B-picture. Hanns Eisler's overbearing score is more suited to an opera. The abrupt finale is a letdown. The take of $2,500,000 (figure from Cogerson) had it lagging way down at the 127th spot among the year's releases, which saw a bumper crop of intense thrillers populated by tormented characters. According to Richard B. Jewell's book Slow Fade to Black: The Decline of RKO Radio Pictures the film registered a loss of $610,000. Also in the cast are Walter Sande and Irene Ryan (15 years away from 'Granny' on The Beverly Hillbillies). 71 minutes. * The original title picked was "Desirable Woman" and it was developed by Val Lewton (who bailed) and Renoir. Their script was inspired by a 1945 steamer novel called "None So Blind", by former chemist Mitchell Wilson, who'd been an assistant to Enrico Fermi, and later married famed acting coach Stella Adler. Coming in on the revised screenplay later was Frank Davis (A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, The Train). Renoir was intrigued by the theme of isolation present in the story, both the edge-of-society setting and the emotionally dislocated principals, remarking that "Solitude is the richer for the fact that it does not exist…The void is peopled with ghosts, and they are ghosts from our past. They are very strong, strong enough to shape the present in their image." A test screening drew jeering laughter from the audience. According to Robert Ryan biographer J.R.Jones, Renoir lost confidence in his ideas about the project, and received conflicting advice from fellow directors John Huston and Mark Robson about how to adjust what was lacking.

Pour House plans expansion to Maple Shade Jim Walsh @jimwalsh_cp MAPLE SHADE - A busy intersection here could become a good place to get a brew. The Pour House is expected to open a second South Jersey tavern later this year near the southwest corner of Route 38 and Lenola Road – and a Starbucks coffee shop is approved for the northwest corner. Lawsuit targets TD Bank overdraft charge The planned pub is part of a push for growth by the Pour House chain, which began 10 years ago with an eatery on Haddon Avenue in Westmont. The firm has two Pennsylvania outlets in Exton and North Wales. "Right now, we are looking to grow at a rate of three restaurants per year," said Jim Fris, chief operating officer for P.J.W. Restaurant Group, the chain's parent company. "That said, the opportunity has to be right and location is a key factor." Former diner could become parking lot The new tavern, with indoor seating for about 200 patrons, is expected to occupy a 1.7-acre pad site next to a Wawa store at the intersection, according to Maple Shade's planning board. It says the 6,300-square-foot pub will have 30 seats at a craft beer bar, and 60 seats on a patio. "The place will be similar to Westmont in that it will deliver great food (and) have an extensive draft beer and cocktail list," Fris said. The planning board approved the Pour House in October, when the project had an estimated opening date of July 2017. Fris declined to confirm that timetable Tuesday. "We don't have a specific date yet," he said. The Haddonfield-based restaurant firm also operates the P.J. Whelihan's chain, which has a Lenola Road outlet a short distance from the proposed Pour House. "We've been extremely successfully there, and believe there is untapped potential for growth," Fris said of the site near Moorestown Mall. P.J.W. also runs Treno Pizza Bar in Westmont and The Chop House in Gibbsboro. According to the planning board, the Starbucks and a Sun National Bank office will rise on a 1.1-acre site that now holds a Shell gas station and car wash. That site is next to the P.J. Whelihan's restaurant. The planning board approved the coffee shop and bank office in June 2016. Sun National plans to move a few hundred yards from an existing office on a nearby Lenola Road property, said spokesman Mike Dinneen. But he noted the change awaits regulatory approvals and requires coordination with several other businesses. "As such, it would be too soon to speculate on when the bank relocation would occur," he said. A Starbucks representative offered no information. Jim Walsh; (856) 486-2646; jwalsh@gannettnj.com

Back to OPINION ...and that's a wrap by Liam Glen Thu, May 26, 2011 13:16 I'm feeling strangely empty this morning as I type this – the Victoria Park crits are over, and my Wednesday evenings will never be the same again. First off, I'd like to thank the organizers for making it all happen and I hope that the series will return next year, bigger and better. Whilst there have been the usual complaints that come with closing roads, I think that the majority of Bathites are behind the race. It was great seeing and chatting to people who had no previous interest in cycling, and had just come along to be entertained and to be part of the festivities. It was also great to see a large Bath Uni contingent make the trip providing some quality heckling and more banter than you could shake a stick at. The monument hairpin was transformed, for a brief few hours, into an impromptu carnival reminiscent of scenes from the big Tours. As a bike racer in Britain, this sort of roadside support is usually only reserved for the pros, and even then, only in the biggest races, so it was great for us amateurs to get urged on each lap. I can assure you, it really helped! Liam gets "encouragement" from the Bath Uni CC team from doug hall on Vimeo. BEST. WARMUP. EVER Having upgraded to 2nd Cat with my win in the 3/4s back in round 2, it was time to step up to the plate and mix it with the big boys. This didn't go so well and I ended up just about hanging onto the bunch for an anonymous 11th place in round 3. A bit of a disappointment for sure, especially after the successes of the previous rounds, but a great motivator to get faster for the following week. Having felt that I was too defensive in my riding in round 3, I promised myself that I wouldn't be afraid to attack and animate the race this time round. Success in the Elite race very much depends on getting in the right break. With Willier/GoSelfDrive and Adeo Cadence fielding large teams, the race would effectively be shut down once a break had gone featuring at least one rider from each team. With this in mind, I put in an attack on the climb roughly 10 minutes into the race with the hope that a couple of riders would come with me and the bunch would let us stay away. However, to my disappointment, I found that nobody had reacted and I was now off the front with 20 minutes remaining – this was not how I had envisioned my race! There was nothing to do but put my head down and go into time trial mode hoping that a few riders could bridge later on. For a moment it seemed as though I was slipping away, but before I knew it, the bunch was back on my wheel. The attacks started flying and Mark Perry (Willier), Tav (Cadence) and Peter Johnson (Pendragon) were away. All the big teams were represented - this was going to be the break of the day. No one in the bunch was reacting so I sprinted off the front and tried to bridge up. This took longer than I'd hoped and I spent all of a lap struggling to close those last few meters. I finally made it at the bottom of the climb, but Tav attacked over the top and I had nothing left. The bunch was sufficiently far behind that I was able to cruise in 4th whilst Mark Perry took out the win and overall title completing Willier's domination of the series. Altogether, I was really pleased with my performance physically, but felt that I had wasted far too much energy though tactical naivety. Oh well, you live and learn.

Q: Applying SetNames to a list of data frames I'm running into an issue applying new names to a list of data frames. I'm using quantmod to pull stock data, and then calculating the 7-Day moving average in this example. I can create the new columns within the list of data frames, but when I go to rename them using lapply and setNames it is only returning the newly renamed column and not any of the old data in each data frame. require(quantmod) require(zoo) # Select Symbols symbols <- c('AAPL','GOOG') # Set start Date start_date <- '2017-01-01' # Get data and put data xts' into a list. Create empty list and then loop through to add all symbol data stocks <- list() for (i in 1:length(symbols)) { stocks[[i]] <- getSymbols(symbols[i], src = 'google', from = start_date, auto.assign = FALSE) } ##### Create the 7 day moving average for each stock in the stocks list ##### stocks <- lapply(stocks, function(x) cbind(x, rollmean(x[,4], 7, align = "right"))) Sample Output: [[1]] AAPL.Open AAPL.High AAPL.Low AAPL.Close AAPL.Volume AAPL.Close.1 2017-01-03 115.80 116.33 114.76 116.15 28781865 NA 2017-01-04 115.85 116.51 115.75 116.02 21118116 NA 2017-01-05 115.92 116.86 115.81 116.61 22193587 NA 2017-01-06 116.78 118.16 116.47 117.91 31751900 NA 2017-01-09 117.95 119.43 117.94 118.99 33561948 NA 2017-01-10 118.77 119.38 118.30 119.11 24462051 NA 2017-01-11 118.74 119.93 118.60 119.75 27588593 117.7914 2017-01-12 118.90 119.30 118.21 119.25 27086220 118.2343 2017-01-13 119.11 119.62 118.81 119.04 26111948 118.6657 [[2]] GOOG.Open GOOG.High GOOG.Low GOOG.Close GOOG.Volume GOOG.Close.1 2017-01-03 778.81 789.63 775.80 786.14 1657268 NA 2017-01-04 788.36 791.34 783.16 786.90 1072958 NA 2017-01-05 786.08 794.48 785.02 794.02 1335167 NA 2017-01-06 795.26 807.90 792.20 806.15 1640170 NA 2017-01-09 806.40 809.97 802.83 806.65 1274645 NA 2017-01-10 807.86 809.13 803.51 804.79 1176780 NA 2017-01-11 805.00 808.15 801.37 807.91 1065936 798.9371 2017-01-12 807.14 807.39 799.17 806.36 1353057 801.8257 2017-01-13 807.48 811.22 806.69 807.88 1099215 804.8229 I would like to change the "AAPL.Close.1" and "GOOG.Close.1" to say "AAPL.Close.7.Day.MA" and "GOOG.Close.7.Day.MA" respectively (for however many symbols that I choose at the top). The closest that I've gotten is: stocks <- lapply(stocks[], function(x) setNames(x[,6], paste0(names(x[,4]), ".7.Day.MA"))) This is correctly naming the new columns, but now my stocks list only contains that single column for each ticker: [[1]] AAPL.Close.7.Day.MA 2017-01-03 NA 2017-01-04 NA 2017-01-05 NA 2017-01-06 NA 2017-01-09 NA 2017-01-10 NA 2017-01-11 117.7914 2017-01-12 118.2343 2017-01-13 118.6657 [[2]] GOOG.Close.7.Day.MA 2017-01-03 NA 2017-01-04 NA 2017-01-05 NA 2017-01-06 NA 2017-01-09 NA 2017-01-10 NA 2017-01-11 798.9371 2017-01-12 801.8257 2017-01-13 804.8229 Why is the setNames function removing the original columns?

The Hanover Sewerage Authority was created by the Township in 1956 to provide wastewater collection and treatment service within Hanover Township. This action was taken in response to ongoing failures of septic systems and to plan and provide for future treatment needs. Planning and construction began in the mid-1950s. The plant began operation in November of 1961. At the present time, approximately 99% of the Township is sewered. The Authority also provides service to contiguous residential areas of Morris Plains, Morris Township, Parsippany-Troy Hills, and to industry in East Hanover. The collection system consists of approximately 80 miles of pipe varying in size from 8 inches to 36 inches in diameter. Within the Township, this system is operated by the Authority. The majority of this system was constructed by the Hanover Sewerage Authority in existing developed areas of the Township in the 1960s and early 1970s. As new areas of the Township were developed, they were connected to the system. The Treatment Plant is located on Troy Road in Whippany. The plant originally provided secondary treatment for 1.5 million gallons of wastewater per day. Between 1976 and 1979, the plant was expanded to provide for a capacity increase to 3 million gallons per day and to meet newly revised criteria for secondary treatment. The plant was further upgraded between 1989 and 1992 and currently provides level 4 advanced treatment plus dechlorination and has a capacity to treat an average of 5 million gallons per day. This capacity is sufficient to serve complete development of the Township based on present zoning.

Ashley and Kyle always had a love of life on the water so their yacht wedding day was perfect for the happy couple! The location for their wedding was selected a long time ago when Kyle's parents were sailing a boat that they'd purchased, from Florida to Virginia. After stopping in Beaufort, they fell in love straight away with the quaint Nicholas Sparks-Inspiring town. They actually purchased the land where Kyle and Ashley's ceremony was held! The gorgous couple have both continued this love of boating and they incorporated a modern, nautical theme for their wedding day. Pairing classic blues and white striped linens with fantastically bold, fresh and trendy florals, the theme was simply beautiful.

HomeNews & EventsKOKO News News & EventsKOKO NewsNews and Entertainment I'm Ready To Face Tinubu For The APC Presidential Ticket – Orji Kalu Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Kalu, has said he's ready to challenge a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for the party's 2023 presidential ticket. This is as he stated that the ambition for Nigeria to have a President of Igbo extraction in 2023 is not affected by Tinubu's presidential ambition. READ ALSO: 2023: I'll Contest For The Presidency If APC Zones The Ticket To The South-East – Orji Kalu The Senator said politicians from the South-West, where Tinubu is from, had tasted the Presidency, just as he pointed out that no Igbo man since independence has been democratically elected as President. Kalu said this during an interview with Channels Television just days after Tinubu declared his intention to contest in the 2023 presidential election. "I do not see Tinubu's aspiration having any effect on a President of Nigeria coming from Igbo area. "It has no effect because we are talking based on what Nigeria should be, based on what people should believe. "Obasanjo had been President for eight years. Osinbajo is about to conclude eight years as Vice President. Yet, no Igbo man since independence has been democratically elected as President. "So, it's always good to think of what is reasonable and what is more sellable. "That thing is almost like dead on arrival because it is not going to work," Kalu said. Also Read: 83-Year-Old Alaafin Of Oyo Seen In Viral Pictures Exercising (Photos) Asked if he has what it takes to win the APC presidential ticket ahead of Tinubu, he said "I'm the most prepared presidential candidate in Nigeria. "I'm capable healthwise and as a person, and also capable to face anybody. But the party is supreme. I'm only waiting for the APC." READ ALSO: 2023: Nobody'll Get Our Ticket On A Silver Platter – APC To Tinubu He continued, "Contesting for President is not the issue. For me, it is who will lead the country into an economic miracle and economic turnaround. "I'm not against Tinubu. If the presidential ticket is zoned to his area and the party gives him the go-ahead, that's supreme. I'm only waiting for the party. "But to run for President, I think I'm the most prepared. I did it in 2007. "If I consider running, I'll be the most formidable candidate at Eagles Square. I have everything it takes to face any candidate." READ ALSO: 2023: Ebonyi State Gov David Umahi Meets Buhari, Declares His Presidential Ambition Asked again if Tinubu's ambition will deprive the Igbo of the chance to produce a President, Kalu said, "I don't want to talk about his ambition. "All I know is that as long as the party is zoning it to the South, the South-East should take preference to anybody that is trying to run. That is what it should be and that is what I will stand for." Asked if he will be ready to face Tinubu when he eventually declares his intention to run, Kalu said, "I'll be ready to face him at Eagles Square for the ticket and I will get it and be President."

It has been a while since I was able to post, but you probably know how that goes; first the Holidays, then sickness, and having to deal with the lemons life gives you. The latter was the biggest problem which sure left us with a sour taste in our mouths at first. However, that is just the first bite. After that you find ways to sweeten the pill and make tasty lemonade so to speak. Even though we encounter many obstacles, pitfalls, and have to fend off lots of fiery darts, there is always a solution. What that is may not always be clear right of the bat, but it will reveal itself in time. After having set out a course we expect things to go accordingly. That doesn't necessarily mean it will; God knows best and He will guide and lead. We need to have faith and ought to be prepared to adapt and go the different way He shows us to take. It might take a little longer than the short cut we had in mind, but at least we know it will turn out for the best. The best part of it all is that even throughout all those trials God gives blessings galore!

Covering SEO, Paid Search, Paid Social Analytics and more... The Future Of Visual Search Monday, December 3rd, 2018 Ever seen someone in the street with the perfect jumper or wanted to know more about that interesting building you walk past every morning on your way to work? How do you find out more information other than typing keywords into Google and hoping that the vague terms you're using brings up what you're looking for? Google Lens, first introduced in 2017, is one of the latest innovative tool from Google, that means that instead of typing in a text query, you can use your phone camera to quickly identify objects with text-based information. This technology was originally a Google Pixel exclusive but is now available to download on Android and IOS devices as a stand-alone app and may become standard across certain Android phones. What is Visual Search? Visual search is distinct from image search, but there is a certain amount of overlap between the two technologies. Image search is designed to give images as results when individuals put a keyword or image into a search engine. Visual Search refers to a method of searching the physical world using a smartphone using image recognition technology to identify what is being shown. Google Lens uses powerful A.I with deep machine learning to provide information about things in your daily life that you didn't even realise that you needed information about! It uses this information to not only identify what the object is but also understanding the context of the subject and offers actions based on what is detected. While in its infancy, this technology can only focus on a single object, but in the future, it will be able to be able to identify each component part of a wider 'landscape'. What can Google Lens Do? One of the aims of this new tool is to make it easier for consumers to buy things, especially if they're already interested in buying an object. If you see a dress that you like while shopping, Google Lens can identify it and give you relevant reviews and shopping options. The technology use by Google Lens isn't perfect yet, and Google admits that this method of searching words best with books, movie posts, and art. It's also a handy tool because of the Smart Text Functions that allow you to highlight text and copy it to your phone with ease. You can also search the text that you found with your Google Lens with Google Assistant- making the whole searching process as easy as possible. Is It Worth Using? Google Lens is a search tool that is still in its infancy and at this moment only has limited capabilities, but it shows a lot of promise for the future. The AI that Google uses has deep learning capabilities which means that we can only expect more from the Google Lens in the future.

One of my favorite things to build in microscale is landscaping. I love all the trees and greenery. I've been trying to expand my repertoire and develop some reference content for other builders, so how about I build a 100 different trees! I've followed a number of artists through 100 day challenges. The plan was to post a new tree every day for 100 days. I'm using my Instagram account for this challenge, as that platform seems perfect for small builds. 100 is a daunting number. I set the bar high early on by deciding that I wouldn't do any color variations. Each tree would use different elements (or configurations). I did opt to build ahead and had dozens built before I posted the first. As of right now I have 70 distinct trees on my work table. So far, I've posted 20. There is nothing new under the sun. I don't claim to have been the first to use any of these designs. I'm always filing away cool parts of other builder's models for reuse down the road.

Canada to require negative COVID-19 tests for air travellers from China The measures follow similar rules recently implemented in countries like the U.S. and U.K. Chris Stoodley ·Lifestyle and News Editor Canada will soon require a negative COVID-19 test from all air travellers entering the country from mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao. Starting 12:01 EST on Jan. 5, all travellers older than the age of two will need to provide the negative test, taken no more than two days before departure, if their flight originated in any of the three areas. According to a news release from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), proof of a negative COVID-19 test can include a negative molecular (such as a PCR test), or a negative antigen test with documents showing it was monitored by a telehealth service, accredited laboratory or testing provider. "Passengers who tested positive more than 10 days before their departure flight, but no more than 90 days, can provide the airline with documentation of their prior positive, in place of a negative test result," the PHAC added. The planned health measures, which apply to any traveller regardless of their nationality or vaccination status, remains in place for 30 days and will be reassessed pending more information on the situation. The measures follow similar rules recently implemented in other countries, such as the United States, United Kingdom and Japan. Following major protests several weeks ago, China decided to ease some of its "zero-COVID" policies. Earlier this week, the country also announced it would resume issuing passports and visas for overseas trips. However, it's a move that could set up a swath of travellers from China heading abroad for the Lunar New Year in January. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization's director-general, said this week that the body needs more information about China's situation regarding COVID-19, following a virtual meeting to discuss the surge. China is currently facing a surge in COVID-19 cases after loosening some of its "zero-COVID" policies. (Reuters/Aly Song) "In the absence of comprehensive information from China, it is understandable that countries around the world are acting in ways that they believe may protect their populations," Ghebreyesus said on Twitter on Thursday. "We remain concerned about the evolving situation and we continue encouraging China to track the COVID-19 virus and vaccinate the highest risk people. We continue to offer our support for clinical care and protecting its health system." In a New Year's address, Xi Jinping said China "stands on the right side of history" despite being questioned about his government's handling of COVID-19 and other challenges.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon today invalidated the federal government's 2014 Columbia Basin salmon biological opinion (salmon plan or BiOp). Judge Michael Simon ruled that this latest plan – like each of its four predecessors -- violates the federal Endangered Species Act and additionally the National Environmental Policy Act. · It ordered a new biological opinion and full NEPA analysis that complies with the law no later than March 1, 2018. Plaintiffs and others believe such a review would conclude that a free-flowing lower Snake River and healthy salmon populations will deliver far greater economic benefits to local communities and the region than do the increasingly costly dams. Commercial traffic on the lower Snake waterway has steadily declined for 20 years, while taxpayers are paying more and more to subsidize the dams' maintenance and operation. With today's ruling, federal courts have found illegal five successive Columbia Basin salmon plans dating back to 2003. The latest plan, issued in January 2014, repeated the mistakes of the past – ignoring valid legal and scientific concerns, and even calling for reductions in spill, our most effective short-term action -- short of dam removal -- for avoiding wild salmon declines. Plaintiffs in this case include: American Rivers, Columbia Riverkeeper, Federation of Fly Fishers, Idaho Rivers United, Idaho Wildlife Federation, Institute for Fisheries Resources, National Wildlife Federation, Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association, NW Energy Coalition, Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations, Salmon For All, Sierra Club and Washington Wildlife Federation.

21. СС брдска дивизија "Скендербег" (1. албанска) () била је њемачка брдска пјешадијска дивизија Вафен-СС, оружаног крила Нацистичке партије. Језгро дивизије је образовано око албанских батаљона који су накратко водили борбу у источној Босни против партизана у саставу 13. СС брдске дивизије "Ханџар" (1. хрватска). Сачињена углавном од Албанаца са претежно њемачким (рајхсдочјери и фолксдојчери) официрима и подофицирима, назив је добила по албанском националном хероју Ђурђу Кастриоту Скендербегу, који је предводио отпор албанских племена османским освајачима и исламизацији. Скендербег никада није достигао бројност дивизије, имајући у највећем броју 6.000—6.500 војника што је снага бригаде. У мају 1944. године, припадници дивизије су ухапсили 281 Јевреја у Приштини и предали их Нијемцима, који су их транспортовали у концентрациони логор Берген-Белзен, гдје су многи убијени. Сама дивизија је била познатија по овој акцији и по убијању, силовању и пљачкању у претежно српским областима, него по учешћу у борбеним дејствима за њемачке ратне циљеве. Једина значајна војна акција десила се током њемачке антипартизанске офанзиве у окупираној Црној Гори у јуну и јулу 1944. године. Након тих дејстава дивизије, њени припадници су распоређени као стражари у рудницима хрома на Косову, која су убрзо заузели партизани, што је довело до великог дезертерства. Ојачана припадницима Кригсмарина (њемачка морнарица) и са мање од 500 Албанаца у својим редовима, Скендербег се распушта 1. новембра 1944. године. Преостали припадници укључени су у састав 7. СС добровољачке брдске дивизије "Принц Еуген". Након рата, дивизиони командант СС-бригадефирер и генерал-мајор Вафен-СС Аугуст Шмитхубер осуђен је 1947. у Београду на смрт за почињене ратне злочине и затим погубљен. Историја Позадина Пет мјесеци прије избијања Другог свјетског рата, тачније 7. априла 1939. године, Краљевина Италија је извршила инвазију на Краљевину Албанију. Земља је заузета за пет дана и италијански краљ Виторио Емануеле III прихватио је круну коју му је понудио Парламент Албаније. Краљевска албанска војска придружена је Краљевској италијанској војсци и именован је вицекраљ који је управљао земљом као протекторатом. Након инвазије Сила Осовине на Краљевину Југославију 6. априла 1941. године, италијанска Албанија проширила је своју територију на дијелове Вардарске и Моравске бановине. Албанци који су живјели у овим областима дочекали су окупацију са одушевљењем. Неки од њих су чак истицали да су Албанци "Аријевци илирског насљеђа". Иако званично под италијанском влашћу, Албанци су добили контролу над регионом и охрабривани су да отварају школе на албанском језику, које је забранила југословенска власт. Италијани су дозволили Албанцима да истичу албанску заставу. Краљевска италијанска војска је протјерала већину Срба који су населили Косово и Метохију током међуратног периода. Албанци су искористили измјењене околности, напали су своје српске сусједе и спалили домове чак 30.000 српских породица. Албанија је остала под италијанском окупацијом све до њене предаје Савезницима у септембру 1943. године. У августу исте године, суочена са непосредном пропашћу италијанских ратних напора, Њемачка је распоредила 2. оклопну армију на Балкан како би преузела области које је раније окупирала Италија. Једна од италијанских области које је њемачке преузела била је Албанија, гдје је распоређен 21. брдски армијски корпус 2. оклопне армије под командом генералоберста Лотара Рендулића. Генерални опуномоћеник Вермахта и специјални представник Хајнриха Химлера, СС-бригадефирер и генерал-мајор Вафен-СС и полиције Јозеф Фицтум, налазили су се у албанској пријестоници Тирани. Нијемци су преузели контролу над свим албанским снагама које су сарађивале са Италијанима прије њихове капитулације, укључујући Бали Комбетар, антикомунистичку и националистичку милицију. Нијемци су ојачали албанску војску и жандармерију, али убрзо су схватили да су те снаге непоуздане. Исте године, одређени број Албанаца са простора Косова, Метохије и Новопазараског санџака регрутован је у 13. СС брдску дивизију "Ханџар" (1. хрватска), Вафен-СС дивизија сачињена претежно од босанских муслимана и Хрвата са већинским њемачким официрским кадром. За око шест мјесеци ова дивизија је укључивала око 1.000 Албанаца са простора Косова, Метохије и Санџака, а који су се налазили у 1. батаљону 2. пука (I/2), која је касније постао 1. батаљон 28. пука (I/28). Дивизија је касније регрутовала још 500 мушкараца са простора Санџака. Образовање албанске Вафен-СС дивизије била је Фицтумова идеја, којој се у почетку супротстављао њемачки високи чиновник Министарства иностраних послова Херман Нојбахер и шеф Рајхсзихерхајтсхауптамт СС-обергрупенфирер и генерал полиције Ернст Калтенбрунер, који је вршио утицај на Химлера да је укине. Ипак, албанска влада је подржала идеју; суочен са све већим потешкоћама, Химлер је убзо промијенио мишљење, а фебруара 1944. године идеја је добила одобрење од Адолфа Хитлера. Стварање У фебруару 1944. године, Хитлер је одобрио оснивање албанске Вафен-СС дивизије која би дјеловала само на простору Косова и сврха дивизије била је само заштита Албанаца, али је остала под њемачком контролом. Била је једна од три муслиманске Вафен-СС дивизије на простору Балкана, док су остале двије биле 13. СС брдска дивизија "Ханџар" (1. хрватска) и 23. СС брдска дивизија "Кама" (2. хрватска). Химлеров циљ био је да прошири регрутовање Вафен-СС на Балкану и оснивање по два корпуса са по двије дивизије, са једним корпусом који ће дјеловати на простору Босне и Херцеговине у Независној Држави Хрватској, док би други дјеловао на простору Албаније. Ти корпуси би требало да буду спојени са 7. СС добровољачком брдском дивизијом "Принц Еуген" и заједно би чинили балканску Вафен-СС брдску армију од пет дивизија. У марту 1944. године, Бедри Пејани, предсједник Друге призренске лиге, организације која је основана након италијанске предаје са циљем остварења интереса Албанаца, предложио је Хитлеру да се оснује јединица од 120.000—150.000 албанских добровољаца која би се борила против југословенских и албанских партизана. Пејани је затражио од њемачког вођства опрему и залихе за Албанце како би се борили против комунистичких побуна, а затражио је и проширење граница Албаније на штету Територије под војном управом у Србији и Краљевине Црне Горе. Ови захтјеви нису испуњени, али у априлу 1944. године Химлер је наредио оснивање нове албанске добровољачке дивизије, која је касније добила име по албанском националном хероју Ђурђу Кастриоту Скендербегу. До тога тренутка, Нијемци и неки припадници албанске квислиншке власти вјеровали су да би се око 50.000 мушкараца са простора Албаније могло регрутовати у СС. СС је у почетку предвиђала да ће албанска СС дивизија бројати 10.000—12.000 људи. Химлер је у Албанцима муслиманима видио могући извор људства у њемачком рату са југословенским партизанима, који су се суочили са озбиљним потешкоћама у регрутовању Албанаца у своје редове. Нијемци су увидјели да су Албанци са простора окупиране Југославије спремнији на сарадњу, него Албанци из саме Албаније. То се дешавало углавном због страха од повратка југословенске власти. Квалитет већине регрута био је лош, а само 6.000 је сматрано погодним за обуку. Регрути који су примљени су спојени заједно са око 1.500 бивших заробљеника Југословенске војске, елементима пропале албанске војске и жандармерије, добровољцима из предратне и ратне Албаније и регрутима који су потицали из породица са више од два сина. Ангажовање албанског цивилног становништва спровођено је у тијесној сарадњи са албанском марионетском владом. Дана 17. априла 1944. године, албански батаљон 13. СС брдске дивизије пребачено је жељезницом непосредно из борби у Босни на Косово како би образовали дио Скендербег дивизије. Шеф регрутовања у Вафен-СС, СС-обергрупенфирер Готлоб Бергер, извијестио је Химлеру да су Албанци "... били тужни због одласка". Сам Химлер је очекивао "велику корист" од јединице, с обзиром да су се Албанци који су били у саставу Ханџар дивизије показали као "високо мотивисани и дисциплиновани" у борби против југословенских партизана. Дана 23. маја, Фицтум је извијестио о неуспјеху албанских јединица у операцији против партизана, те да је распустио четири албанска батаљона у саставу Вермахта. Описао је већину албанских официра војске и жандармерије као "потпуно корумпираним, неупотребљивим, недисциплинованим". Операције Дивизија је основана као 21. СС брдска дивизија "Скендербег" (1. албанска) 1. маја 1944. године у саставу 21. брдског армијског корпуса. Већина или чак сви дивизиони официри, подофицири и специјалисти били су Нијемци, углавном из 7. и 13. СС дивизије, што је знатно ослабило те јединице. Дивизиони артиљеријски пук основан је од 1. албанског артиљеријског пука. Дивизија је стављена под команду СС-штандартенфирера Аугуста Шмидхубера, који је у јуну унапријеђен у СС-оберфирера. Јачина дивизије се процјењује на од 6.000 до 6.500 људи. Припадници дивизије су полагали вјерску заклетву над Кураном, обећавајући "џихад против кафира". Дивизија је на почетку била опремљена заробљеним италијанским тенком M15/42, који се показао као непоуздан. Гарнизон се налазио у Призрену. На самом почетку је постало познато да је већини Албанаца муслимана у дивизији циљ био борба са Србима православцима, који су постали мета бројних звјерстава. Како би зауставили злочине, Нијемци су морали разоружати батаљоне дивизије у Пећи и Призрену и ухапсити албанске официре, а један командни официр је чак послат у затвор у Њемачку. Дана 14. маја 1944. године, припадници дивизије су упали у јеврејске домове у Приштини, ухапсивши 281 Јеврејина које су предали Нијемцима, а који су их послали у концентрациони логор Берген-Белзен, гдје је већина убијена. Дивизија је касније била укључена у масакр над албанским партизанима. Уопштено, била је познатија по убиствима, силовањима и пљачкама, претежно у српским подручјима, и по хапшењу Јевреја, него по учествовању у борбеним акцијама у сврху њемачког ратног циља. Осим неселективног убијања Срба, дивизија је била одговорна за протјеривање преко 10.000 српских породица са Косова, када су стигли нови албански досељеници из сиромашних подручја сјеверне Албаније. Долазак ових Албанаца охрабривале су и италијанске власти, а процјењује се да се чак 72.000 Албанаца доселило на Косово током рата. Између 28. маја и 5. јула 1944. године, дивизија је ухапсила укупно 510 Јевреја, комуниста и осталих антифашиста, које је предала Нијемцима. Такође је вршила одмазде вјешањима сумњивих саботера. У јуну 1944. године, Скендербег је спроводио велике маневре на терену у источној Црној Гори. У Андријевици, дивизија је извршила масакр над више од 400 српских цивила. Дивизија је заједно са 7. СС дивизијом "Принц Еуген" починила масакр над 428 српских цивила у селу Велика код Плава. Учествовала је у операцијама Ендлих (Коначно) и Фалкенауге (Соколово око) у јуну и јулу, као и у операцији Драуфгангер (Дрзник), током којих је дивизија била главна сила коју су користили Нијемци. Ове операција су за циљ имале уништавање јаких партизанских снага на подручју Ђаковице, Пећи и Мокре Горе. Према Нојбахеру, дивизија је била безбрижно посвећена борби у раним фазама њене обуке и лоше се показала. Између 18. и 27. августа, дивизија се борила са партизанима у околини Дебра, али није успјела заузети град. Крајем августа 1944, Нијемци су донијели одлуку да се дивизија може користити само за основне стражарске дужности. Неки припадници су били задужени за чување рудника хрома на Косову, прије него што су то подручје заузели партизани. У предстојећим сукобима, један од пукова дивизије изгубио је више од 1.000 припадника, а многи Албаци су дезертирали, неки након што су српски партизани напали подручје сјевероисточно од Гусиња. Група армија Е тврдила је да учинак дивизије "апсолутно нема војне вриједности". Дана 1. септембра 1944. године, снаге дивизије у Тетову и Гостивару су се побуниле, убијајући своје њемачке официре и подофицире. У то вријеме, дивизије је бројала нешто мање од 7.000 људи, што је од једне трећине првобитно предвиђене снаге. За два мјесеца од почетно распоређивања дивизије, 3.500 људи је дезертирало из јединице. Химлер је у дивизију довео 3.000—4.000 припадника Кригсмарине из Грчке да би надокнадио изгубљену бројност, али то није много утицало на борбену способност дивизије. Од почетка октобра 1944, снага дивизије је спала на око 4.900, мање од 1.500 који су били спремни за борбу. Јединица је била ослабљена оштећењем опреме и оружања, као и недостатком њемачког војног особља за обуку нових регрута, што се показало чињеницом да је током љета и јесени за борбу био спреман само један батаљон. Шмидхубера су његови војници презирали, а Фицтум то објашњава тиме што нису успјели осигурати ефикасне сигурносне снаге омаловажавајући албанску културу и војни углед. Мање упознати припадници Вермахта су касније изјавили да је главни проблем везан за поузданост дивизије, био јер Нијемци нису блиско сарађивали са Албанцима на мјесном нивоу. Средином октобра, дивизија је учествовала у тешким борбама у околини Ђаковице. Јединица је пружала помоћ Вермахту у повлачењу са Косова, покривајући бокове снага у повлачењу. У то вријеме, дезертери су знатно ослабили јединицу, а 86 официра и 467 подофицира остало је заједно са снагама од 899 мушкараца, од чега су половина били Албанци. Дана 24. октобра, генералоберст Александер Лер, командант Групе армије Е, наредио је да се сви Албанци у јединици разоружају и пусте. Дивизија је 1. новембра 1944. године распуштена. У исто вријеме, косовски Албанци су отпочели борбу са партизанима када су сазнали да област неће бити у саставу Албаније послије рата, упркос ранијим партизанским обећањима. Због тога је на Косово послато 30.000 партизана који су сурово угушили побуну. Између 3.000 и 25.000 Албанаца је убијено током гушења побуне. Посљедице Преостале њемачке снаге и бивше морнаричко особље реорганизовани су као пуковска кампфгрупа Скендербег под командом СС-оберштрумбанфирера Алфреда Графа. Јединица се повукла са простора Косова средином новембра заједно са остатком њемачких снага у тој области. Многи Срби и Црногорци су се затим осветили косовским Албанцима, нарочито сарадницима и бившим припадницима дивизије. Када је кампфгрупа Скендербег стигла до Љубовије на ријеци Дрини, стављена је под команду 7. СС добровољачке брдске дивизије "Принц Еуген", која је обезбјеђивала прелазак ријеке у том подручју. Кампфгрупa је држала Зворник и Дрињачу током прве половине децембра 1944. као дио љубовијског мостобрана. Касније се повукла преко Дрине и борила се на сјеверу према Брчком на ријеци Сави, гдје је ослободила снаге Вермахта које су држале град. Крајем децембра, батерија самохотке кампфгрупе била је присутна на Сремском фронту у Винковцима. Остатак јединице био је распоређен у Бијељини. У јануару 1945. године, шачица морнаричког особља која је преживјела пребачена је у 32. СС добровољачку гренадирску дивизију "30. јануар", а остаци бивше дивизије реорганизовани су као 2. батаљон 14. СС добровољачког брдског пјешадијског пука 7. СС добровољачке брдске дивизије "Принц Еуген". Дана 21. јануара 1945. године Шмидхубер је унапријеђен у СС-бригадефирера и генерал-мајора Вафен-СС и постављен у команду 7. СС добровољачке брдске дивизије "Принц Еуген". Након рата, проглашен је кривим за ратне злочине и објешен је. У фебруару 1945, батаљон је потпуно распуштен, а преостало људство додјељено је њемачком полицијском пуку у близини Загреба. Сама дивизија је сматрана војним неуспјехом; нити један припадник дивизије није одликован Гвозденим крстом током служења у њој. Све у свему, дивизија је била познатија по злочинима које је починила, него по доприносу њемачким ратним циљевима. Њену улогу у депортовању Јевреја са простора Косова испитао је албански историчар Шабан Синани, који тврди да та јединица није учествовала у било каквој депортацији у име Нијемаца. Током рата на Косову и Метохији (1998—1999), амерички журналиста Крис Хеџес тврдио је да су неки од припадника Ослободилачке војске Косова били непосредни потомци неких припадника дивизије и да је то идеолошки утицало на њих. Малком је оспорио ову тврдњу. Ознаке Ознака за припадности дивизији био је албански двоглави орао. Упркос свом краткотрајном постојању, овратник са приказом козе на врху шљема био је направљен за дивизију, али не постоје докази да је икада кориштен. Постоје фотографије са одређеним машинским тканим манжетним појасом са натписом Скендербег, али он је додјељен 14. СС добровољачком брдском пуку 7. СС дивизије у јесен 1944, а не за ову дивизију. Припадници кадровског особља фотографисани су како носе штитник за руку са приказом црног албанског двоглавог орла на црвеном пољу.

He had sketched this new pose, when all at once he recalled the face of a shopkeeper of whom he had bought cigars, a vigorous face with a prominent chin, and he sketched this very face, this chin on to the figure of the man. One of these worthies--a tall, lank figure, brandishing a rusty sword of immense longitude--purported to be no less a personage than General George Washington; and the other principal officers of the American army, such as Gates, Lee, Putnam, Schuyler, Ward and Heath, were represented by similar scarecrows. The same thing would happen if you were to treat in the same way a Triangle, or Square, or any other figure cut out of pasteboard. The airy figure of the child paused, hovering over the house at which I had left my traveling-carriage in the evening. Then the old dame stood the figure up in a corner of her cottage and chuckled to behold its yellow semblance of a visage, with its nobby little nose thrust into the air. It must have been her fancy then; and yet it was strange, that, without anything in her previous thoughts to lead to it, she should have imagined this figure so very distinctly. As the road-mender plied his dusty labour, and the hail-clouds, rolling away, revealed bright bars and streaks of sky which were responded to by silver gleams upon the landscape, the little man (who wore a red cap now, in place of his blue one) seemed fascinated by the figure on the heap of stones. This had received the brunt of our fire and seemed to be entirely unmanned, as not a moving figure was visible upon her decks. Verily, knight of the rueful figure he must be to have disfigured mine. His tall, slender figure had a slight stoop yet it looked the reverse of feeble.

LONDON • The spirit was as strong as ever but Rafael Nadal's troublesome knee failed him in the end as the Spaniard quit the ATP Finals after a painful defeat by David Goffin on Monday. The world No. 1 admitted he had lost his fitness battle after crashing 7-6 (7-5), 6-7 (4-7), 6-4 to the Belgian in a thrilling opening match of the end-of-season finale. The 31-year-old came into the tournament with doubts swirling over his fitness after pulling out of the Paris Masters with a knee injury. Initially he showed no obvious ill-effects during a roller-coaster round-robin encounter in front of a supportive crowd but eventually his injury caught up with him and forced him to admit his season is over. "No, I am off," said Nadal. "My season is finished. Yeah, I had the commitment with the event, with the city, with myself. I tried hard. "I did the thing that I had to do to try to be ready to play. But I am really not ready to play. "It is about the pain, I cannot hold with enough power to keep playing. I tried, but seriously it was a miracle to be very close in the score during the match. It really doesn't make sense." Nadal - who has withdrawn five times in 13 previous ATP Finals, losing twice in finals - said he would work hard to be ready for the start of the next season and for the Australian Open in January. "I know what I have to do," he said. "I know all the things that happened in the past when I had these things, and I know the treatment that I had to do. "I know the periods of time that I need (in order for the treatment) to work. Then if the treatment works or not, we will see. "The good thing is it is nothing new. Everybody on my team has the right experience (to deal with the injury). "We hope to manage it, to have the right rest, the right work, and to try to be ready for the beginning of the next season." In the deciding set on Monday, Nadal appeared to feel discomfort in his right knee as he went two breaks down but still he refused to admit defeat, recovering a break before eventually succumbing. "It was a tough fight until the end," said a relieved Goffin. "Rafa is one of the strongest players mentally on the tour. I am so happy to finally find the key to win this match. It is so special to do it here." Nadal has won 75 singles titles in his illustrious career, including 16 Grand Slams and 30 Masters events but he has yet to triumph at the ATP Finals, played on quick indoor courts rather than his favoured clay. Nadal's withdrawal leaves Roger Federer as the only headliner standing in a tournament now looking seriously short of star power. The ATP Finals feature the top eight fit male singles players and doubles teams that have accrued the most points throughout the 2017 season.

Unexpectedly, the year 2011 offers me two trips to Africa. The first, in January with the announcement of the EoC in this great continent, is a total discovery. Now it returns with new challenges. The short course at CUEA (Catholic University of Eastern Africa) is the result of an agreement done only a few months ago. Its realization projects that desired future in the real present. The trip, after the first flight from Venice to Rome, presents an unexpected cancellation on the morning flight to Nairobi. I have to wait until evening for the new flight. In peace, I accept this change of program considering the much more uncomfortable trips of students who will come from some remote corner of Africa. The first step is at Mariapoli Piero, the little city of culture of giving, about 40 km. from Nairobi. In the middle of the night, the driver, to whom I could hardly speak because of the tiredness and sleepiness, brings me there! I arrive at 4:30 in the morning and rest until 9. At half past nine I share my professional experience with a group of professionals from the outskirts of Nairobi and some students who came from other parts of Africa who also came to attend the course at CUEA. Sharing experiences and exciting facts, I discovered the red thread that bound every moment of my life up to now. I thank God for all these enriching opportunities of meeting people, cultures, countries. Sunday night we are in the city. The sense of family is strong and I really feel at home. The mosquito net of the bed has now become part of the normal way to sleep! So the big day arrives. Monday morning we are at the university where the course on Social Accounting and EoC starts. There was a very warm welcome from everyone. Charles Besigie, the local tutor, guides us Africa with wisdom (that of relationships) in the diverse world of CUEA. The rector, Dr. John Maviiri and the Dean of Economy, Dr. Aloys Ayako, to bring their welcome and encouragement for the new adventure. The class of brave explorers is made up of fifteen students from four African countries (Kenya, Rwanda, Cameroon and Burundi). They are joined by Professor Betty Njagi from the faculty of economics, who is very interested in the course. The class alternates between moments of lectures with group work centered on business activity. It is encouraging to see how much each one is giving everything in this course: the French-speaking group of Burundi chooses to mix with others and the mutual support is evident among all so as to fully understand many new concepts. Day after day the experience grows. The dialogue continues outside the classroom with students and professors during coffee breaks or meal times. The interest in the EoC and its cultural roots are very deep. The afternoons are time for rest (with some intense jogging at 1800 m above sea level!) and further discoveries. One of the students of the course, Michael Owino, a Kenyan born near Lake Victoria, accompanied me to the Nairobi National Museum. And so with him I retrace part of the history of his people (the Luo tribe, one of Kenya's forty-two). I think of how important it is today to face the challenge of keeping together our local identities with the need and the beauty of the world united. Thursday night, a big party in town with the students, teachers and friends. I am greatly moved with the exchanging of gifts… and we experience many forms of communion! My course ends Friday morning to pass the baton to Giuseppe Argiolas who is about to leave from Italy. The students are very happy and satisfied and... also the professor! We are already planning projects for the future. A week in Africa so short and so dense, spectators of something greater that is to come about.

Tag: PBS African-American Firsts, Community, Documentary, Entertainment, History, TV, U.S. April 7, 2018 New "Mr. Soul!" Documentary Explores How Ellis Haizlip's PBS Show "Soul!" Brought Black Culture to Talk Show TV by Sameer Rao via colorlines.com Ellis Haizlip (photo via colorlines.com) Ellis Haizlip broke the talk show and public television color barrier when he introduced "SOUL!," the weekly program he hosted during the late '60s and early '70s, to PBS. Now, a half decade after the show debuted, his niece Melissa Haizlip ("Crossing Jordan") revisits his legacy with the documentary "Mr. SOUL!" Deadline anticipated the world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival by unveiling the trailer (above) on April 4. "There exists, as far as I know, no TV program that deals with my culture so completely, so freely, so beautifully," the senior Haizlip remarked in archival footage from the trailer. To drive that point home, the trailer incorporates clips of performances from now-renowned Black artists as varied as Maya Angelou, Donny Hathaway and Alvin Ailey. Haizlip also conducted interviews on the show with Stokely Carmichael, James Baldwin and other activists and thought leaders. Interviewees like Kathleen Cleaver, Sonia Sanchez and Harry Belafonte spoke to the importance of this show, which centered Black culture at a time when the U.S. was waging full-scale war on Black activism. "This is serious business, our lives were at stake!" Cleaver emphasized in the trailer. PBS/Thirteen noted that Ellis Haizlip fought both on and off camera. He intentionally staffed his production team with Black crew members and publicly criticized the government-created Corporation for Public Broadcasting for pulling funding. "Worse than racism, I see this as the beginning of a systematic plan to remove Black programs from public television," he told Jet magazine after the show's cancellation in 1973.

Ifill was born in Jamaica, New York, the daughter of immigrants from the Caribbean. She earned a bachelor's degree in communications at Simmons College and worked as a reporter for the Boston Herald-American, the Baltimore Evening Sun, the Washington Post and the New York Times. Her first job in television was for NBC News. She then joined the Public Broadcasting System in 1999 and served as co-anchor of NewsHour and moderator of Washington Week. Ifill moderated two vice presidential debates and a primary contest between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Ifill was the author of The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama (Doubleday, 2009). In announcing the honor, Simmons College President Helen Drinan stated, "For over 100 years, our mission at Simmons has been to prepare our students to lead meaningful lives and build successful careers. Gwen's example stands tall in that mission. The kind of unimpeded curiosity Gwen brought to her work, coupled with her warmth, integrity and commitment to truth-telling, is something all of our students aspire to – no matter what field of study they pursue. We are extraordinarily proud of her and so pleased to formalize her legacy at Simmons this way."

Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" contributed to the Ku Klux Klan's resurgence nearly 100 years ago, pioneering Black newspaper editor and activist William Monroe Trotter fought to ban the film in his native Boston. An upcoming PBS doc will explore his battle against the infamous 1915 film. "Birth of a Movement" focuses on Trotter's mobilization of community protests, which included an attempt to see the movie with supporters that ended in a scuffle and his arrest. These protests were part of a career spent critiquing segregationist policy that included founding and editing The Boston Guardian, criticizing Booker T. Washington, helping to create the NAACP and leading the National Equal Rights League. Trotter's activism grew into a broader movement to combat the film's violent aftermath. The documentary premieres February 6 at 10 p.m. as part of PBS' "Independent Lens" series.

"The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution," a documentary by Stanley Nelson which aired on PBS Tuesday, shined a necessary light on the contributions, convictions and struggles of members in the party. Nelson's informative film took a deep dive into discussing the truth behind the Black Panthers and underscored the heavy institutional backlash the liberation movement received from police and the government. From the group's radical inception in 1966 to it's dissolve in 1982, here are a few important things you must know to better understand the Black Panthers. David Fenton via Getty Images 1. The Black Panthers' central guiding principle was an "undying love for the people. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, otherwise known as the Black Panther Party (BPP), was established in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. The two leading revolutionary men created the national organization as a way to collectively combat white oppression. After constantly seeing black people suffer from the torturous practices of police officers around the nation, Newton and Seale helped to form the pioneering black liberation group to help build community and confront corrupt systems of power. 2. The Black Panthers outlined their goals in a 10-point program.

Black Panthers monitored the behavior of the police in black communities. Jack Manning via Getty Images In 1966, police violence ran rampant in Los Angeles and the need to protect black men and women from state-sanctioned violence was crucial. Armed Black panther members would show up during police arrests of black men and women, stand at a legal distance and surveil their interactions. It was "to make sure there was no brutality," Newton said in archival footage, as shown in the documentary. Both Black Panther members and officers would stand facing one another armed with guns, an act that agreed with the open carry law in California at the time. These confrontations, in many ways, allowed the Panthers to protect their communities and police the police. 4. The party grew tremendously and drew attention in cities everywhere. The party's goal in increasing membership wasn't aimed at recruiting church goers, as explained in the documentary, but to recruit the everyday black person who faced police brutality. When black people across the nation saw the Panther's efforts in the media, especially after they stormed the state capitol with guns in Sacramento in 1967, more men and women became interested in joining. The group also took on issues like housing, welfare and health, which made it relatable to black people everywhere. The party grew rapidly — and didn't instill a screening process because a priority, at the time, was to recruit as many people as possible. 5. "Free Huey" became an infectious rallying cry following Huey Newton's arrest in 1987. In 1967, Newton was charged in the fatal shooting of a 23-year-old police officer, John Frey, during a traffic stop. After the shooting, Newton was hospitalized with critical injuries while handcuffed to a gurney in a room that was heavily guarded by cops. As a result of his hospitalization and arrest, Eldrige Cleaver took leadership of the Panthers and demanded that "Huey must be set free." The phrase was eventually shortened to "Free Huey," two words which galvanized a movement demanding for Huey's release. 6. The Black Panthers affirmed black beauty, which helped to attract more members. The sight of black men and women unapologetically sporting their afros, berets and leather jackets had a special appeal to many black Americans at the time. It reflected a new portrayal of self for black people in the 1960s in a way that attracted many young black kids to want to join the party — some even wrote letters to Newton asking to join. "The panthers didn't invent the idea that black is beautiful," former member Jamal Joseph said in Stanley's documentary. "One of the things that Panthers did was [prove] that urban black is beautiful."

(Photo Credit: Sara Krulwich/The New York Times) The hit musical "Hamilton" will be the subject of a documentary film scheduled to air on PBS this fall. The public broadcasting network announced Monday that it would air "Hamilton's America" as part of its Great Performances series this fall. The documentary is being produced by RadicalMedia, which previously made a documentary about "In the Heights," a musical composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also created "Hamilton." The film company has a long relationship with Mr. Miranda and with Jeffrey Seller, the lead producer of "Hamilton." RadicalMedia also previously filmed Freestyle Love Supreme, a hip-hop-improv group with which Mr. Miranda performs, as well as the final Broadway performance of "Rent," a musical that was co-produced by Mr. Seller. The filmmakers started shooting the documentary in 2013, two years before the show arrived on Broadway, and have footage of visits by the creative team to historic sites associated with Alexander Hamilton, whose life is the basis of the musical. The film will also feature scenes from the show, and a look at the life of Hamilton, according to Dave Sirulnick, one of RadicalMedia's executives. The making of "Hamilton" has been heavily chronicled in print and on television, and Mr. Miranda is now wrapping up a book about the show, but Mr. Sirulnick said that in the documentary "the storytelling is going to be very fresh" and will offer a close-up view of the creative team at work. article by Michael Paulson via nytimes.com Filed under: "Hamilton", "Hamilton's America", "Rent", Alexander Hamilton, Broadway, Freestyle Love Supreme, Great Performances, Jeffrey Seller, Lin-Manuel Miranda, PBS, RadicalMedia Adults, Community, Documentary, Entertainment, History, Media/Internet, New Media/Internet, Organizations, Politics, TV, U.S. January 17, 2016 Landmark Civil Rights Documentary "Eyes on the Prize, Parts I and II" Starts Re-airing Tonight at 9pmEST on WORLD Channel Public television's WORLD Channel will present the complete Emmy-Award winning Eyes on the Prize I and II starting tonight, January 17, 2016. A 30-minute special feature, Eyes on the Prize: Then and Now, will launch the encore presentation of this historic two-part series and explore its impressive relevance today. Eyes on the Prize, created by Executive Producer Henry Hampton, is a critically-acclaimed and in-depth documentary series on civil rights in America. With the current national spotlight on issues of race and inequality—as well as the marking of the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and the 60th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott—the time is right for this series about the nation's civil rights history to be front and center as part of an essential dialogue. America continues to struggle with the recurring crisis of race-related violence; Eyes on the Prize I and II can provide perspective for a new generation and be a touchstone for citizens who lived through the decades that the films depict. Journalist and writer Al Letson hosts new introductions to each episode. "We are elated that this landmark series will once again be broadcast across the country, reaching millions of viewers—many of whom may never have seen the original airing. The series focuses on solutions to the conflicts that we face today. Eyes on the Prize shows leadership, grass roots organization and personal sacrifice as the recipe that can create lasting change. It is our hope the television programs together with our comprehensive outreach campaign will spark a national dialogue about this critical topic," says Judi Hampton, president of Blackside, and sister of the late Henry Hampton (1940-1998). The WORLD Channel presentation, made possible with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Ford Foundation, includes Eyes on the Prize: Then and Now, a new, original 30-minute special, which will lead into the premiere January 17 of Eyes on the Prize, setting the groundbreaking documentary series in the context of today. Narrated by music artist Aloe Blacc, Eyes on the Prize: Then and Now features Eyes on the Prize filmmakers, present-day activists, human rights leaders, and scholars. The special revisits key historical moments and explores commonalities with current national events. "The WORLD Channel is honored to be presenting this signature series," says Chris Hastings, Executive Producer of the WORLD Channel. "It's a history that must be understood. With Eyes on the Prize: Then and Now, we ask questions and draw comparisons about the struggle to achieve equality today. As conflicts and challenges continue, Eyes on the Prize remains essential viewing for all Americans." As part of the initiative, WGBH Education is developing a digital resource collection supporting Eyes on the Prize and civil rights themes in history and social studies curricula, to help the civil rights movement come alive for students today. This collection will be available on PBS LearningMedia in January. Based at WGBH Boston, the national public media producer, WORLD Channel delivers the best of public television's original documentary films and news to US audiences through local public television stations, including America ReFramed, AfroPop, POV and Local, USA. The special Eyes on the Prize presentation also will be made available to all public television stations for local broadcasts (check listings) after the WORLD premiere. EYES ON THE PRIZE I and II Almost three decades since its premiere, the groundbreaking series Eyes on the Prize I and II will return to PBS this January. Eyes on the Prize I will premiere on The WORLD Channel six consecutive Sundays – January 17, 24, 31 and February 7, 14, 21 at 9:00 p.m. (EST). Eyes on the Prize II will air eight consecutive Sundays—February 28, March 6, 13, 20, 27, and April 3, 10, 17 at 9:00 p.m. (EST). Produced by Blackside, Eyes on the Prize tells the definitive story of the Civil Rights era from the point of view of the ordinary men and women whose extraordinary actions launched a movement that changed the fabric of American life and embodied a struggle whose reverberations continue to be felt today. This multi-part Academy Award nominated documentary is the winner of numerous Emmy Awards, a George Foster Peabody Award, an International Documentary Association Award, and a Television Critics Association Award. Through contemporary interviews and historical footage, Eyes on the Prize I and II, traces the civil rights movement from the Montgomery bus boycott to the Voting Rights Act; from early acts of individual courage through the flowering of a mass movement and its eventual split into factions. The late Julian Bond, political leader and civil rights activist, narrates.

Q: Upgrade a visual studio solution on the command line with visual studio express Is there a way to upgrade a visual studio solution on the command line with visual studio express? When trying to build the old solution with msbuild I get a warning to upgrade with either "vcbuild /upgrade" or "devenv /upgrade". Both of them do not exist in VS Express 2012 and msbuild from that version does not include an /upgrade flag. I also found a solution proposing to use vcupgrade, which exists but can only upgrade individual projects. Also, the upgrade fails in my case, whereas it is completely possible using the GUI.
